Hi I am running into an issue with my truck where the blinkers would occasionally come on solid but after turning them back off and on again they'd work and now they've quit working all together and now when I turn on my hazards they work but sometimes they come on solid. Any help is appreciated

sounds like it could be a bad flasher relay (not sure what they are really called)

Definitely sounds like the flasher relay. I had to replace mine.

I’d try both new flasher relays since you’re having issues with both of them. If not, it’s probably a minor wiring issue going to the turn signal/park lamps.

When you buy a new flasher relay, get one of the newer electronic ones that do not depend on the resistance/load of the lights. The stock ones will flash faster if the load is higher, and may not flash at all if you have swapped in LED lights, or when you plug in a trailer it will flash faster. The electronic flashers have a timer that stays the same regardless of load.
