- I would just change the bulbs and install a heavy-duty flasher relay.
- I know that the bulbs may not be the problem, if they are, swapping
- them out for new ones will only cost about $3 and take about 1/2 hour
- of your time.
-
- I had a similar problem when I hooked-up a trailer for the first time
- to my '90 S10 Blazer, yet the problem affected both right and left
- turn signals. It seamed that the standard flasher relay was not
- sufficient to handle the extra load required to operate the turn signals
- on the trailer. After explaining this problem to the U-Haul people,
- they recommended swapping in a "Heavy-Duty" flasher relay. I did.
- It cost about $3 to $4 (it was cheap), and it worked.
-
- Anyway, that's what I would do.
-
- Good luck,
- Randy
