Turn Signals
Howdy everyone!
I've got a 1997 f250hd and while i was driving home tonight i noticed that my front right turn signal was not working. All the others worked fine. When i got home i pulled the bulb and it looked perfectly fine. I also noticed while my signal outside wasn't flashing my turn signal indicator on the dash was also not working. After messing with the switch and bulb a little the signal started working again like nothing happened, along with my dash indicator. Earlier that same day i also installed new headlight lenses and headlights, but i checked everything when i buttoned it back up and they all worked. Long before all this ive also been having problems with the intermittent wipers as well. Since that switch controls both wipers and signals I guess my question is could the switch be faulty considering it looks like its the factory switch or would it most likely be something else like wires going to the bulb. The wires on the bulb dont look terrible and i tried my best to be gentle with them while reinstalling them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's probably the switch *or* the plug on the switch is pulling out partially. I have seen this latter thing on trucks with tilt steering wheel due to the constant up and down movement of the column.
