Looking for electrical advice.

On my 2000 FRC the turn-signals work/don't work intermittenly. It affects left/right at the same time. No rhyme nor reason that I can determine as to when it happens. The 4-ways always work. No other electrical issues.

These are the only codes I got. All History (H)B0-RFA - Remote Function Actuation
B0-RFA - Remote Function Actuation
U1016 Loss of Communication with PCM
U1064 Loss of Communication with BCM
U1096 Loss of Communication with IPC

Thanks for your help.

You might replace your flasher for turn signals, because the 4 way I believe uses its own flasher.

Your belief is incorrect.

I replaced my hazard switch when I was having that issue. Has not returned since. If it is your multifunction switch on the column, it is more money and harder to replace.

Cycle your hazzards when it happens and see if they start working again.

It's most likely the hazard switch which has the flasher built-in.

You typically have the signals on different corners acting up if it is the turn signal switch.

I suggest you just bypass the hazard with a standard flasher. Costs all of about $10. Look in the Ultimate DIY sticky at the top of this forum for instructions on how.
