I just picked up my FRS last week and noticed an issue with the turn signals right off the bat. When I first hit the switch (right or left) the indicator and signals come on but don't flash. If I turn the wheel slightly they will start flashing. This happens if the wheel is straight, or even if the wheel is already turned. Would this be a clockspring issue? Maybe the flasher relay (seems less likely)?

The PO had every cheap LED imaginable installed on the car, so I replaced all of the bulbs with OE replacements and it didn't resolve the issue.

I believe I had something similar happen with a 2004 Forester I owned a while back and there was a cup inside the steering column I had to replace.
