Problem - turn signal - need help

This is the second time it has happened. The turn signals both left and right freeze when used, the lights and the LED insight just freeze instead of blinking. The bulbs are ok.

It happened also couple of months ago, but overnight got fixed on its own.

Today the signals got frozen again, same way, no blinking. every thing else works fine in the truck.

I had to park the truck for four hours, and after that they were fine, but only for 10 min and same condition occured again.

I wouldn't be suprised if they are fine in the morning.

Any idea's from anyone please, as to what may be causing it and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance

The truck is a F-150, 1994

maybe the relay is shorting out when it is hot, when it cools it works again.

Thanks, it was working fine this morning again.

That could be it, where is this relay located? I would like to replace it myself.

My inspection is coming up.

Yeah it is your flasher (relay). Like Quicklook said it is in the fuse box and it is the round one.
