Somewhere in the wiring from the computer (silver box) behind the gauge panel the signals will work intermediately. You can play with the wiring and get them to come back on but sometimes not for long. I know the issue is with the wiring that runs to the main connector on the box but have checked the pins and don't see an issue with them.
We have a couple trucks with the exact same issue. One an 03 and the other an 04. I figure there must be other people having this issue as well.
Anyone else have turn signal issues with the 03+ multi-plex style dash?

Not exactly what you were asking, but I was having a time trouble shooting turn signal issues with my 2000. My problem was in the cable that runs from the firewall to the pigtail connector. Unplugging at the firewall made everything work again. Just a thought.

No my problem consists in the plug for the ecc. Anybody have a breakdown of the wires going to the main 24pin connector on the ecc behind the instrument panel?

I just offered that up as I thought I had troubleshot it to the Ecc as well. Good luck

Well I guess no one else has had this issue but when you guys do come across it this should help you out. http://www.filedropper.com/eccwiring

I'm not sure if this is your problem or not but I thought I'd tell you my exsperance the other day.
I got a 2012 4900fa. I replaced my fender turn signals with some different style led units.
Wired them in , thought everything was fine till I turned the signals on. They would blink for a short time then quit. Or would not turn on at all.
Turned out the factory led signals I took off had a built in resistor to make the flasher work correctly.
I took the the original lights apart and wired the resistor into my new lights. Everything works fine now.
Not it sure if this is your issue or not but thought I'd throw it out there. If you recently installed new led turn signals you could have same issue your describing. -
PDF zoom to 400% to read the detail. View attachment ECC wireing 872B1-3406.pdf
Now that worked! Every numbered wire and detail where it goes.
I was told the gauges wiring is the only difference with the data cable between the gauges. -

I have seen each of these cause weird issues with the dash when blown. They each provide power to more things than what they are labeled as.
