Default 2000 turn signal having problems

My turn signal works some of the time. It will not turn on sometimes then will turn on within several turns later. It did this for a wile then stoped for 3 months. It has started again and quit on the same short trip. I need your help in what to look for,Thanks,

THE HOUSING GETS CORRODED & CAN'T MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION.
TAKE APART & SAND OR REPLACE HOUSING.

try the "hazard switch" quick fix. The turn signal relay runs through the hazard button in the center of the dash. When my turn signals stop blinking, I jab the hazard switch hard a few times, loosen up the contacts, and the turn signals will work for a few weeks. I've been busy with other projects, but will need to change out the switch at some point. This has been a fairly frequently reported issue.

When you get a new hazzard switch assembly, look for the words "Made in England". That explains it all! (Former Triumph owner)

I am having the same problem and have already figured out the hazard solution. What is the permanent solution? How do I clean the housing?

Thank you.
