Turn signals not working

I'm at a total loss on this one.
Replaced the signal switch a few months ago to fix no turn signals. Worked ok til last week. Signals working ok til halfway into my drive. Signals acted funny, weird pattern, then nothing.
Took the shaft down to the switch again, all is ok.
Hazards & brake lights work.
Fuse is ok.
Harness is plugged in & snug.
All bulbs are good.

What am I missing?

Tired of running around with no signals feeling like a major a-hole. Driver window motor needs replacing, so no, I can't use hand signals.

Re: Turn signals not working

you probably have bad flashers, they are the round things in your fuse box.

Re: Turn signals not working

Thought of that, but the hazards work. They run off the same flasher right?

Re: Turn signals not working

I would Try checking your grounds. Majority of electrical problems can be traced back to a bad ground.

Re: Turn signals not working

Found out I have two flashers. One for the turn signals, on the fuse box, and one for the hazards, on a box right of the gas pedal. Swapped them, signals work. Thanks guys.
