turn signal problem

I have a 2000 Dakota quad cab with a 4.7 l when I turn on either turn signal itll flash 2-3 times or sometimes not even flash at all when it does it just stops u can hear the flasher working . can anyone tell me wht to check and how to check/ replace parts I need to get it working again :banghead: is there a flasher inside the steering colume. or is there just a relay on the side where the fuses are ? any help would be greatly appreciated I guess no one knows the cure for this problem ty not

Do you mean it sticks with light on or just stops working? Mine sticks, figured it's the relay getting jammed but haven't had time to look at it yet.
