    I'll be honest, that's kinda funny.

    Does the 4 way flasher work? I'm thinking you have a loose connection. Reach under the dash and grab the back of the fuse box and tap it, jiggle it and thump it around and see if the blinker works or stop working. Get down there with a flash light and a mirror and see if something doesn't look right.
