flashers problem

my hazard flashers are goofy. they work but to make them work i have to pull the hazard button and wiggle it back and forth and then hold it at a certain pressure, then as soon as i let go the flashers turn off, what could cause this, how can i fix it, is it just age showing up on a '79 steering column? thanks for any help

The switch is bad. You'll have to replace the turn signal switch assembly in the column.

Pull the steering wheel, disconnect the turn signal arm and cover, disconnect the connector and pull it through. Installation is the reverse. You need a steering wheel puller.

Dunno how much.

Get a new one. Switches wear out and wiring ages. A junkyard assembly may be fine. Or it may not. It might last forever. Might not.
