It is most likely the stalk/switch (turn signal lever). Sometimes you can adjust the contacts a bit and fix the problem if they are not burned or damaged. Burned or melted contacts are a common problem..especially with higher output bulbs. Most folks add relays to the circuit to help prevent this.

It's the turn signal/headlight switch. Same thing happened to me. Buy it at Pelican and fix next weekend...
