The last time my blinkers failed the symptoms were:-
Symptoms:-
The lights came on (both the ones on the dash and the ones on the car) but
there was no flashing.
Solution:-
It turns out that my altenator was dead and there was not enough power to
operate the flasher unit (I gather this functions due to a circuit being
opened/closed depending on the heating of a mettalic element). After replacing
my
altenator (and waiting several days while I re-charged my batteries) the
flasher unit did not seem to work very well (flashed very, very slowly) so I
replaced the flasher unit (under the dash on my '73 MGB Roadster) and this
solved
the problem
I guess that this is a fairly uncommon reason for the flashers failing, so
this may be no use to you at all but you never know...
