Default Flasher bypass stopped working

I installed the flasher bypass from Corvette Enhancements (incorrect it was from Adaptive Performance) about 6months ago and it seemed to work fine until recently. Once again the turn signals have stopped working . When I turn on the turn signals I can hear the bypass clicking but the lights, neither the dash light indicator or the turn signal itself are flashing. I can rapidly push the hazard switch and sometimes the hazards will work sometimes not. On the occasion when they work, I can leave them on for a few seconds and the turn signals will work again. It would seem that with the bypass installed the hazard switch should not affect the turn signals. Now I may have the bypass installed incorrectly, but unfortunately I have lost the instructions that came with the bypass. I have emailed the vendor and waiting to receive a response. If someone has any ideas or has the instructions they can post it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Correction: It was not Corvette Enhancements that I got the bypass from but Adaptive Performance. My apologies to Corvette Enhancements for the confusion, and a thank you to them as they actually called me to make what they believed was their problem right.

The bypass 100% removes the Hazard switch from the circuit. Either the flasher failed, a connection is coming apart or you some some other issue.

Try wiggling the connector for the bypass. I ended up having to zip tie the connector together.

Sounds like you need a bypass............for the bypass.

The bypass was from Adaptive Performance not Corvette Enhancements.
