Both turn signals work when they want to. The hazzard lights work just fine. All bulbs are great. The turn signal indicator will flash inside the car for a few seconds and then stop. The outisde turn signal lights stop too.

My turn signals work sporadically and have turned off after blinking once or twice and sometimes don't blink at all. What do I need to check to fix it?

All turn signals and brake lights stopped working. Took into Firestone and they diagnosed it with a short in the Signal switch. Replacement was $224.00 for switch, $50 Diagnostic testing, and $20 Safety Check. A whopping total of $338.00.

I bought the car over 2 years ago and i have always had this problem where the back right blinker would quit working and now it is both i have to take the bulbs out and put the same bulbs back in and it works. But i hate having the inconvience of my back blinkers not working when i am on a busy interstate.

The right turn signal indicator blinks rapidly. I changed the bulb. Did not help. The blinker on the passenger side rear does not work. I was on my way to work one morning and the service light came on. About a minute later the headlights went out while I was driving. Luckily the high beams still worked. The cruise control hasn't worked in some time. You can set it, and in a few seconds it turns off. Taking the car in today to have it looked at. Guessing it's the switch that has gone bad.

Recently had driver's side rear bulb go out and replaced it. Confirmed correct bulb. Afterwards, turn signals started to work intermittently and are going downhill from there - now I can only get a few flashes before they shut off altogether.
