When the car is cool, and you flip on the turn signals they will blink once, maybe twice, before they click off and do nothing. Took it to a mechanic friend and he thinks its either the relay or the multifunction switch. If the car is warmed up they usually work all the time. Is there a way to tell whether its the relay or the multifunction switch? Is the multifunction switch a dealer only part?

i would suspect faulty flasher relay, fail much more often then the actual switch. its much cheaper and easier too. you can learn how to test a relay at http://www.2carpros.com/how_to/how_do_i_check_a_relay.htm
