Default turn signals work intermittantly

Hi everyone,

I've posted here before with great success so I'm back again lookin for a little help. This time I have a 2001 2wd XJ stock and the turn signals work pretty much when they want to. I've noticed they will come on (either direction) for about 3 clicks then go off only to come back on again after a few seconds. it doesn't seem to matter what position the steering wheels is in. If it goes off and doesn't come back on by itself I can re-flick the switch and get it back on for a few clicks.

Has anyone ever heard of this before? could it be electrical or mechanical?

I appreciate all the help everyone in this community has given me in the past and if it wouldn't be coming up for inspection I wouldn't worry about this little problem, but she's my daily driver so....

Thanks again!

Sounds like the flasher relay under the dash may be going out.

I believe it's around the steering wheel but I've never actually looked for it under mine.
