Title: Intermittently slow indicators
Post by: Anth73 on December 10, 2019, 12:43:20 PM
I've noticed my indicators flash very slowly (both left and right) from time to time, though cannot say if it's temperature related or not.

For instance I went to the Highball cars event on Sunday and all was normal with my indicators at the start of the drive but they slowed to one flash about every 10 seconds by the time I arrived 30 minutes later. On the drive home they slowed even further.

Coukd this be due to a bad flasher?

The 3 pin cylindrical flasher can, is located alongside the fuse box and can be purchased for under $40. Had to replace unit on my Alfetta GTV4 several years back,  which had similar  symptoms as you describe.

Spoke with Dominic at Italian Automotive Spares in nearby Brunswick and he has one for me to pickup on Saturday morning :). Thanks for your assistance guys.

Um, you could pick one up Friday evening if that helps...I'm sure I have at least one stashed in my parts bin.
