Blinker Problems

Im having problems with my turning signals.. Last week i was sitting at a stop light with my blinker on at night and all of a sudden my blinker froze it was on but it stopped blinking it was just orange. I checked if all my lights work and they do.. Then about an hour later they worked fine. They never froze at any corner or anything they worked for 2 days straight. Then Monday morning they froze again only this time there off. They wouldnt light up at all. So for about 2 days now i flip the switch they blink once and stop. The Hazard lights do the same thing they blink once and never come back on.. But when i lock my car they blink just fine

Anyone got any suggestions.. maybe a losewire or somthing?

my guess would be the relay is bad. There are three of them under the left side of the steering wheel next to the fuses

Those relays power the blinker, dash fans, and some lights in the dash.

I replaced one in my car just this week.. nissan dealer charged about $31 to order the part. autozone didnt have any
