Turn signals only work when car is warm?!?

When my car is cold inside, the turn signals wont work at all, the little green lights don't blink and neither do the lights themselves. Although, sometimes the right turn signal will work. After the car is warm inside, the turn signals work just fine. I've checked the fuses, and they're fine. WTF is my problem?

has it been cold there? i know that electronics sometimes dont work correctly if they are cold, so maybe the circuit board is too cold and needs to warm up. if you ever left a cell phone in your car over a dark night and try to use it, they have a delayed reaction of sorts, ive noticed it on some CD decks as well.

sounds like the relay is having probles. they are cheep to replace.

Hondas have mechanical relays for the turn signal, thats why you hear the clicking sound when your light turns on and off.

The relay is right above the fuse box. its a black square.
