Why light signals don't work at random times?
Find answers to your legal question.

The light signals on my car don't work at random times, they just don't turn on at all. Also the emergency light stay on for a couple of seconds and turn off, high beam wont turn on either. Now not always is this way most of the time the lights work fine but at a certain point they stop working. Sometimes they just start working properly again. I checked the fuses and make sure every single one is tight enough any idea of what it might be?

The answer will depend on the type and year of vehicle. I see cars from the 90's on up doing this and it's almost always the turn signal switch in the column.

I had that happen once in an older pickup. My problem ended up being a loose ground connection. That could be about anywhere depending on your model of vehicle. Tough to say for sure, but it sounds the same as what mine did.

Good luck!

You need to check the combination switch or also called the multifunction switch...
