Problem:
Turn signals stop working randomly and intermittently. By "stop working" I mean that when I move the lever to Right-Turn-Signal or Left-Turn-Signal, there are no turn signals (outside), no light flashing (on the dashboard), and no clicking noise. When this happens, the Emergency Flasher also does not work (no clicks, no lights outside, no lit-up light on the switch). When this happens, the wipers do work. When this happens, the lights themselves still work, and will flash as usual if lock/unlock is pressed on the remote.
Then, after some time (few seconds to several minutes or more), and with turning various things on/off or with leaving them alone, then the turn signals and the emergency flasher will suddenly operate normally again until they stop working again later.
I have not spent much time debugging this, and hope that I can find an answer. But if anybody knows already, please tell me!
I am assuming it is not the relay, since the wipers continue to work all the time. Maybe it is the flasher switch (or the clicking unit inside it)? Maybe it is the turn signal switch? Maybe it is me?
Thanks for any helpful advice you can send my way!
