Turn Signal Work Intermittently

Hi everyone:

Every once and a while for the past several months, the turn signals and flasher stop working. It's not clear why. Sometimes, I'll start the car and they won't work. Other times, they'll be working one minute and not the next. Trial and error have shown that the signals will start working again if I do one of three things:
  1. Push the flasher switch
  2. Jiggle the turn signal stalk
  3. Turn the ignition switch off and back on

These three strategies don't always work, however. Sometimes the turn signals just start working by going over a bump in the road.

So here's my question. I've replaced the flasher switch already. I thinking the problem might be in the stalk. Could it be the ignition switch? Before spending the time and money to fix one or the other, I'm looking for your advice.

Thanls
