What are the issues with the turn signals. Are they working some times, are they flashing fast? Are left and right signals having the same or similar issues?

Maybe there's a short in the bulb connector - have you tried to replace them?

If sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, it might be your emergency flasher. Try cycling it a few times for a temporary fix.

Moved to C5 Tech. And it would help if you gave a better description of just what is going on with the car.

Well, I can't speak for the OP, but mine mostly flash fast, as though a lamp were burned out, but randomly flash at a normal rate. I've always figured it was a normal tail light kind of problem -- i.e. a bad ground, but haven't taken the time to clean them all yet.

If I turn the flashers on first sometimes the signals will work.

when you turn the turn signal on and it does not work , put it back in the center and turn on the hazard flashers. shut the hazards off and try the turn signal again. repeate that every time they dont work
