W204 2008 C300 4matic Turn Signal Relay

Could anyone let me know which is the relay for Turn Signal (the one, that makes flashing pattern) or is it done via somekind of Bimetalic strip? I assume the Steering Wheel lever is just a switch, that suppose to engage the relay to blink the bulbs? Looks like mine freezes during cold nights, and when I'm doing "Change line Turn Right - 3blinks" it flashed "Left" fist and then turning on, the "Right turn". If I let the car blinks "Left" for few mins (I assume the relay gets warmer, as current goes through it) it works kind of fine.

I got the same issue, I tried to look it up but I could not find anything to help me out. Maybe someone who had this issue and fixed can help us?

I had this issue last winter but only on really cold night, (-20C and lower). I sprayed some electrical cleaner down the switch not really knowing if it would help but it seems to have fixed it. Didn't do it again last winter nor has it acted up this winter and we've had some cold nights here in Canada.

Hi, do you mean the switch that is located inside the steering wheel, just behind the airbag?

Did you have to take out the steering wheel to get to the lever ? or just the top or bottom cover ?
