Default Some electrical issues

I am trying to figure out some funny stuff that has been happening with the car for a while now..Now that i have time on my hands i would like to get to the bottom of it all. The signal lights, some times they work and other times the signal indicator flashes quickly inside the car. Checked the grounds and all seem ok, new hazard switch so i don't thinks its that either. Another issue is the temp indicator on the climate control. There are times when it shows 20 degree not matter what then goes back to the correct temp. Any idea?

Do you notice if it flashes faster left or right turn signal or does it not matter?
Have you replaced turn signal flasher relay?
What you are describing sounds like a flasher relay or bad bulb connection.

sounds like a bad ambient air sensor if you are referring to external temp

check all your connections I think the ext temp sensor is in front of the radiator behind the front bumper. The flasher relay works on the resistance from the bulb if theres no connection to the bulb it will flash faster

You might also check for a burned out bulb (both front and back)
