I rapidly worked the light switch 10 or twelve times and the turn signals came back to life. Thank you DLR.

This reminds me of a story from long ago.

In the 1970's we decided to fix up my grandparents old car.  A 57 Custom.
Rebuilt engine, got it going and it was a car my brother and I shared.
Headlights worked just fine, but the dash lights did not.

Long about 6-9 months later just driving along at night and suddenly for a split second, viola!  DASH LIGHTS in all their glory.

Evidently just pulling and pushing the light switch on did what you said. It cleaned the contacts.

Headlight switch or turn-signal switch?
