My turn signals are working occasionally. Both the left and right will work for the first “blink” or two then just stop. They will also work ok for a while then just stop working. I tried the hazard lights and they work fine. What do you think the problem is? How much do you think the repair will cost me?
Look forward to your suggestions.

Welcome to the site. When the turn lites act-up, don't recycle the key or anything, if the vehicle is running, leave it running. Check fuse 10--10amp in fuse box, use testlite, that fuse circuit should be hot, key on. If it isn't hot, you need to backtrack circuit to ignition switch. If it is hot, there are several possibilities, combination flasher--turn switch--wiring circuits, I routinely check bulbs and sockets.
