Just noticed my left and right turn signal light not working. Any clues on where i should start? I guess it could be the tired relay. The intermittent switch does work and the bulbs all around work.

Problem fixed. I guess it was a bad contact.

I also found a spare one i purchased many years ago identical as the one installed. Is this model correct for this application?

That same unit will also work for your hazard lights. That flasher can is mounted at the top of the passenge side kick panel. I switched out to these units years ago and love the performance improvement, all with incandescent bulbs.

'Performance improvement'?  Please explain.

The OE cans are "thermal" - they use a bi-metal strip that heats and cools at differing rates depending on the flow of the electrical current.  They usually operate more slowly at idle and then speed up as engine revs increase. The newer units are termed electro-mechanical, operate at a constant rate independent of the engine speed.

I believe the original relays were metal cans. Am i right? 

Correct, the OE flashers are usually a aluminum can. They typically have a metal tab for a small screw to mount to a surface. The new ones usually have a plastic case, no mounting tab. You can glue a tab to the case for the mounting screw.
