My turn signals go out without any warning. I will be driving using my turn signals and then two seconds later the turn signals go out. I fix it by banging on my dashboard (isn't that how you fix everything as a kid?) And it always eventually comes back on (after a few hits), although how stress releiving smacking my dashboard is I would love to fix this. I brought it into Goodyear about six months ago and that did a lot of good. For two days. Any help?

Suspect a faulty / sticking flasher relay. When you hit the dash, it causes the relay to unstick and let the signals work again. Until the relay sticks again that is. The flasher relay is located in the center of the instrument panel, right of the steering column.
