well, im stumped....

So ive been having issues with my blinkers/hazards. A few weeks ago i looked out my window to see my hazards going a million miles an hour. Symptoms/searching pointed towards flasher relay/cpu. so i bought a replacement. worked for a few days, then it rained and my left blinker would freak out(flash randomly) until i would hit the brake pedal or just turn my running lights on. And now when i drove it for the first time in weeks yesterday, it did it again, but this time with the lights on the blinker still freaked out. it would stop if i pressed the brakes. also stops if i turn the wipers on high.... not low or int, just high. i was thinking something was up with the taillight, cuz it stopped with the running lights/brakes. but then only the brakes, but now the brakes and wipers will fix it... WTF?!

oh and sometimes when turning the car off the hazards and buzzer freak out too. not sure if these issues are related, but im willing to bet they are.

anyone had this/these issues? from searching i seem to be the only one...
satch ill be waiting for your wisdom lol

bad connection in the lens to bulb housings. a bad bulb will cause the system to blink faster because it adds resistance to the system. resistance could also happen if there is a bad contact in the housings. clean them out.

I had something related to your issue.

I swapped front bumpers on my car and left the turn signals from the new number in and used those ones.
Well after a couple days my right turn signal would blink rapidly but both my bulbs were fine. It wouldn't stop until I swapped the turn signal out for the one that originally was on the car and it fixes my issue.

Few days later the same thing happend to my left turn signal and the fix was the same.

Idk if this helps.
