Default Blinkers randomly shut off today?

So while driving home today in my 91 Da my blinkers just stopped working. Like not lighting up on the dash, or clicking, nothing. So I sat in the turn lane while the light was red wiggling some of the wires under my steering wheel and they started working again. Everything on this car is bipolar sometimes, what could it be?

Get yourself a wire tester, place it to each one of the wires that you moved to get it working when you "wiggled" them and find out which one has a short. There is a short in one of those wires and that is where you start. Would hurt to grab a wiring diagram PDF from Honda Hook Up if you can read a wiring diagram.

It is a connection problem, [loose wiring/plug] a short would blow a fuse.

I would start by removing the steering column trim cover so you have access to the combination light switch, with it off you can make sure the harness plugs are plugged in properly.

You can also turn on a signal light and and move wiring around to see if you can narrow down the lead that cuts the signals out when moved.

The signal/hazard lights relay, [flasher] is also under the dash just to the left of the column just in front of the PGM-FI Main Relay, make sure I is also plugged in properly. 94

My hazards worked though, just my normal blinkers wouldn't. So it turns out it seems it was the switch, so I swapped switches with another integra steering wheel and they've been working all day today.
