No such thing as a stupid question. Well... most of the time... LOL.I apologise in advance for what to most of you here may seem like a stupid question, but can somebody tell me where it's located?
Thanks
Xlratr, that is where I would start, too.
When checking the system keep in mind that these flashers work faster as more current flows through them (because of a higher load) and slow down as less current flows though them. Hence a burnt out turn signal bulb may result in a decreased flasher frequency, unlike European turn signal relais'. The same goes for a bad ground of the lamp housing or bulb socket corrosion.
But it might just as well be that your flasher is tired.
Yes, there's electronic units you can plug in instead of the thermal flasher, like the Triscan 1000HD12, among others.
