Default Turn signal problems...
In the last few weeks, my turn signals have been acting really funky. They'll blink erratically for at least a few seconds. Sometimes they continue like that, sometimes they just turn off altogether. The lights themselves work fine, and the hazards work fine too.

The dealer told me there was a faulty switch in the column and they ordered a new part. Anyone else have this problem? Was it successfully repaired?

Default Your blinker is built into your 4-way flasher and yes your turn signals will die way before-
your 4 ways because of use. A real easy change.

Default I just had this problem in my car lastweek. They replaces the relay on the Hazards.
Common problem as everybody has stated.
