Turn signal problem

Have a 1995 ford bronco eddie bauer edition.  yesterday my turn signals appeared to stop working they will occasionally turn on after a few seconds but is not consistant.  brake lights work, hazard lights work, and all lights turn on just issue with turn signals only. any ideas?

Turn Signal Switch, aka Multi-Function Switch (MFS) Failure Causes; "...Mechanical components wear out or electrical connections are faulty; If the switch assembly is not operating properly, turn signals, hazard warning lamps, windshield wipers/washers and the headlamp beam selection may not operate properly. Related Components to Check; The switch itself, the electrical connections to the switch and the connections to each of the affected components (items such as turn signals, wipers, etc.)..." by Ford

Regrease with dielectric grease. Save ~$80 for a new switch that will only last ~4 years..."

If they're good but don't operate, it has to be the WCM by elimination..."

I have a 1995 XLT and lost my blinkers.  It was the blinker relay switch located either on the fuse box or behind the fuse box.  Cheap and easy to fix.

Tom, also check the light bulb socket.  Not completely sure about 90+, but usually there are two metal contacts in the bottom of the socket, and over time, the contacts lose their tension.  Remove the bulb, get needle nose pliers, adjust the contacts out, so they will touch the contacts on the bottom of the bulb; also clean off any rust/corrosion from the socket contacts, put a little petro jelly or terminal grease on socket contacts before reinstalling/replacing bulbs.  If your sockets are all the way jacked, you can usually find replacement for cheap at autozone/oreilly's/napa etc.  Hope this helps!  B-Co Kid out!
