Electrical problem
2002 Pontiac Grand Am

My turn signals keep shorting out. When i engage the switch nothing happens, the lights do not light up and the neither does the dash indicator. But my hazards will still work. Then after a short time the blinkers will begin working again also. The frequency of these shorts has increased over the past couple years. I've switched the fuse and it has not solved the problem. Possibly a relay going bad? Anyone have any suggestions?

relay is most likely not the problem here, seems as though the turn signal switch is at fault and needs replaced. first ensure the wiring to the switch is good before replacing switch itself.
