Lazy Blinkers

[JuST Peter]

Lately on start-up on my '04 ST, I've had to hold the blinker switch with my thumb to one side or the other to make the blinkers work, and it only seems to keep going after what I can only describe as the unit warming up. It makes riding difficult if I enter a roundabout (turn right) then want to exit (turn left). It's bad enough just wanting them to work in one direction without needing both in quick succession.
I found a similar problem on the ST Owners forum:

and was wondering if someone on here would think mine is the same or something different?

Why go "overseas" when the answers are here in Oz already?!   

Just shows how this Forum has rapidly matured in its content.  The US one has been going since the ST1100 came onto the market.  OzSTOC is a much younger Forum.

An update!
After a quick phone call to Dr Brock to verify nothing would fall apart if I take the switch cluster apart, I split the two halves, gave the blinker switch a good spray, and the others too just in case they thought of playing up, put everything back and voilą! All is good again. 

Thanks Brock - that's a few  I owe you
