Here's the puzzle: I've noticed a peculiar thing on my TR8 lately. The left turn signal blinks almost half as slow as the right one. In fact, sometimes it barely seems to manage to blink at all. Any

My TR6 has a similar problem, except that the right blinks slower than the left, and it blinks slower in warm weather than when it is cool. Replacing the flasher had no effect. After playing around e

A similar problem happened to my Spitfire. Sometimes they would blink knda slow, sometimes normal, sometimes not at all. But the brake lights also did the same thing. I tore the assemblies all apart,

(Asbestos suit on.) This may be a totally stupid suggestion, but if the right and left blinker have diffrent connections or seperate blinkers, you might want to check the voltages going into the flas

Is one of your left signal lamps burned out? This would cause less load on the flasher unit which would cause it to blink slowly. -Steve

Not totally. The current is what makes the flasher work, though, not the voltage. The flash rate is roughly proportional to the current. -- -- John R. Lupien lupienj@hpwarq.hp.com

Yeah is is hard to belive what the proverbial "former owner" (aka "Meathead former owner") has done to cars. I am working on a '67 Nova for a friend. The exhaust is all this spiral flex pipe. Idiot r

I had this problem on my TR8 a year of so ago, and its easy to fix. It seems the blinker relay is triggered by the amount of current flowing through it. Since your right signal works OK, its not the

My guess is a burned out bulb or intermittent short/ground on one side or the other. The blinkers are usually RC circuits that heat a bimetallic strip; if the amount of current draw varies, the "rise
