Q: My turn signals don't flash when I signal them.
When I go to signal a turn, the light will appear on my dashboard, but the signals won't flash, or even make the noise. I have to mess around with my hazard switch for quite some time and then they will flash. It isn't a huge problem, but it is just super annoying and I would like to know if you could offer some advice. Do you think it is the flasher and it needs to be replaced?
