Same flasher relay.

The four-way switch does a number of things that all have to
happen.  Suggest exercising the switch rapidly on and off a number of
times and see if it gets better.  If it does you can maybe save some
circuit tracing.  At that point you can think about a new switch or
if you're handy with small things possibly opening the existing one
and cleaning it if it isn't too worn out.

Yours,
