Most likely the hazard flasher switch. Try pushing it in and out a few times and see if the flasher starts working again. If it does, it’s time to replace it. It is a known issue.

Yep mine does it intermittently I just hit the hazard switch a bunch of times and usually have to turn my blinkers on with the hazards on for them to start working again but then it will go several months. Wrks for me until I get around to fixing the problem.

Hazard switch is likely the problem. Try smacking it a few times. You can get away with replacing it by removing the radio and the screws on top of the IPC.

On mine, when the turn signals quit I just could wiggle the hazard switch without turning them on and my turn signals will start working.

Working the hazard switch didn't do anything. Which fuse is it?

Try turning your hazards on and then turning one of your blinkers on and then cutting your hazards off to see if it will work like that.

The Hazard switch is more than likely the problem if you have been running the A/C hard, condensation from the cold vent is what causes them to act up.

That is probably what caused mine to act up again because its been in the upper 90's to low 100's here for over a week and I had not really used the ac until now. And it acted up just a couple days ago which was right in the middle of this heat wave, hopefully these storms will cool if off some.
