8-ways will occasionally not activate, almost act "stuck". By the time I get into a position to test anything, they'll start to work. Sometimes just the one amber will turn on. Again, by the time I get ready to check things, everything works. Relay going bad? Door switch ain't sticking. Master and amber flasher switchs are new (don't mean they work). I dunno. Any help's appreciated.

Relay would be a good place to start. I just had the same problem on a 2004 IC. Relay fixed it.

What flasher? If Weldon, it's throw-away. If Aeroflash or ELS, try relays. If that doesn't resolve it, you'll only be out about 2 minutes of your time.

Stupid me decided to overlook the simple issues. Test drove, noticed some other problems... alternator was going bad.

So much for a $10 fix, eh?
