Blinker problem

No don't worry it's not the titan (whew!)
On my wifes 2000 impala the blinker works most of the time, but about once a day it won't work at all for about 4-6 minutes, then it works fine the rest of the day. Bad relay? -No other elec/light problems whatsoever.

I would pull the relay, clean the sockets and put it back in. If that doesn't work, relays are cheap

IF not the relay she could be experiencing a stalk switch problem. This would take removing the stalk and cleaning the metal contacts with alcohol.

Bulbs also could be a problem, one may be going bad with a failing filament?
If I remember correctly from my Chevy days, if the bulbs fail the blinkers don't work.

Thanks good ideas, yea when it is not in operation the normal "clicking" sound of the blinker going off and on isn't operational either. The stalk does still lock up and down though. BTW cali titan chazz1202 was the name of a retaurant that i recently sold my son's name is Chazz address was 1202 do the math (no rudeness intended)... My name is Wayne (NN J.R.). Thanks again for the info i'll tear into it this weekend and post my findings.
