Default blinkers sometimes don't work, bad wiring?

my car is a 1990 crx si, my corner blinkers by the headlights worked and the bumper blinkers worked, but now for some reason they are real touchy and on the passenger blinker for the bumper you can just hit on it and suddenly they don't work, then you wiggle it and works again ??

so if a blinker works and you jiggle it around and then it does'nt work would that mean its a bad wire or torn or something ??? most likely ??

what is the best way of troubleshooting this type of thing,?? the bulbs are good, i have to check the fueses still and going to tonight

also my hazard lights don't work at all when you press the hazard button.

is it hard to change the wires that lead to the blinker bulbs with new ones ?? or does it lead real far through the engine bay ? thanks for any tips or direction

wires might be loose so just go over them and re-tape or solder. as for the hazard and turn signal lights there is a black flasher located inside the fuse box in the cabin that you can change out with a new one from your local auto parts store.

now that i think of it, i have had a problem with my alarm and how its connected to the corner blinker lights, it has a feature where they flash when armed or dis-armed and its messed up to where sometimes the corner blinker lights get stuck to where they are staying on, and you try and dis-arm and it won't do it and you have to do it several times until they finally turn off.

i will have to check the alarm diagram and how its connected to the blinker lights and get that feature disabled.
