I have the exact same issue for two years now, at least. On and off, intermittently. Frustrated I went ahead and replaced the flasher, bulbs, and turn signal lever. Just when I thought I nailed it it came back and said 'I am back!'. I then came to the same exact conclusion as the gentleman stated above and am going to remove the flasher, check the connector's pins if 'loose' then make them tighter, and reconnect. I to noticed before and after replacing all the parts as mentioned when the flasher is touched or wiggled slightly it stops right there and function as it should. I waited again until it acted up and did the same thing again. So the culprit will be the plug/connection. If there is a male and female pin, then it might be loose, like a 18 year old boy banging a 80 year old cougar lady. ;-) Sometimes you put the lady's legs together and it is tighter, right? Same idea for the pins. lol Have fun and think about this post when you get around to messing with them pins. ;-) Good luck!
