This has happened to me twice at work. I thought something weird was going on but the receptionist said she saw my alarm go off both times it happened. I just figure it's related to the alarm being set off. I got out of vehicle, closed the door, locked it, unlocked it, and started it and the flashers went off FWIW.

Old thread to bring back up. Has anyone ever found a definitive solution to this issue. I get this problem about once a year. Never bothered to check for a thread on it as I could never find a consistency in what caused it or what actually stopped it.

Happened again the other night and was just curious.

I had this exact thing happen to me today. About five minutes into my journey the blinkers started working out of the blue. Up until that point, the hazards were flashing but no blinker lights on my dash were illuminated.

This just happened to me today. I parked the car to put some mail in the mailbox and noticed my hazards were on and thought I pressed it by mistake. The car wasn't running anf keys were out of the ignition.

Then I noticed the green arrows weren't flashing so I tried the cluster test and all was working.

So as I drive off I'm seeing that my hazards are still on, blinkers don't work and restarting the car wasn't doing anything either.

I finally start turning off my headlights on/off manually and eventually got it to work again.

Haven't had rain for a while so I don't think there was any water ingression.
