what does that mean.
flash rate slow?
or
move the lever stalk down, and 5 seconds later lamps flash. (this)? or flashing rate, once on is slow.?
slow tell me nothing really, sorry
off hand bad flasher module, replace it.
the module can fail in many ways.
dead.
flashes to fast
flashes to slow
or delays to wake up
4 ways to fail
if all 4 fail, the flasher is bad.
for sure 10x less cost and for sure labor for new , steering combo switch.
there are other causes,
all or most flashers, sense if the 4 lamps (flash) are overloaded or underloaded. (hackers learn this fast)
let me give 2 examples
1: one lamp is shorted or any inch of the 10feet of wire to it.
2: someone got cute and put in LED lamps now flashers goes nuts, with no load, flashes slow or not at all.
3: or got more cute and added tons of lamps , gawd knows why.? or trailer attached, lamps speed up for 2x normal load. (they sell special flashers to cure that !!!)
so there are many causes of flashers failing (slow/fast or dead), is your car still stock, ? means stock lamps in car? that is question #1
I think I got all ways above, in one post.
