Default Turn Signal Problem

I've got a problem. My turn signals are intermittently failing to come on. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Anyone ever have this problem?

Nope. Not here. Could be your turn signal switch, flasher, or more likely just a poor connection/bad ground.

Had same problem with my signals, when they wouldn't work I could hit the flasher to get them going again.I took it to the dealer, and got it fixed under warranty. They replaced switch 10406626.

very common problem, when the signals won't work, wiggle the hazard switch and they will come back on.
You have to remove the IP trim pad to replace the switch if memory serves.
Good luck.

I would put money on the hazard relay switch in the dash. About $75 parts and labor. Had mine changed about 2k ago. :cheers:
