Electrical Glitch?

This is what I have found to usually be the culprit. Sometimes all it takes is to rapidly (carefully) move the signal arm back & forth, left side then right. It clears up the gunk. Otherwise, manual cleaning will be in order.

I have been using the turn signal arm flashing it, but am afraid something may break, so I really want to fix it.
