I assume you are using an electro mechanical flasher and not a modern electronic one. Indicator flasher units work on the current drawn by the bulbs to heat a bimetal strip, causing a contact to open, and when it rapidly cools, it closes, giving you the flash, check to see that all the bulb wattages are the same, lower wattage globes will cause the unit to flash slower, higher wattage, faster, ie more currentdrawn faster flash, Have you got side repeaters and a flasher not designed to run them, or dashboard warning lights etc.. Normally it's the earthing on the bulbs as this will cause the symptoms but you say you've checked that.. Sorry not much help. |
