It's quite possible that a very light layer of corrosion on the 4-way
flasher switch contacts was the problem. That switch seldom gets
used, so the corrosion has a chance to build up and insulate the
contacts. Moving the switch a few times may have cured this for
awhile. You may need to do this again in about a year.
