turn signal issue

Recently my turn signals either dont flash or they flash real fast and random, if I push the lever down they stay lite with no flashing, the emergency lights work fine, just hoping someone knows what it might be. thanks

TS flasher can

I tried a new flasher no change. thanks

I agree - start with the flasher itself.

It doesn't hurt to have a basic understanding of how the flasher in a domestic classic car works - it's simply a low capacity circuit breaker. The load of lighting the turn signal bulbs heats it up, causing it to open the circuit. Once the circuit is open (without load), things cool down, and the breaker closes again. Repeat.

Your symptoms sound like a mix. Things other than a haywire flasher sort of go like this:

a. Flashes very slow or not at all: Insufficient load on the circuit. Often simply a bulb burned out.

b. Flashes faster than normal: Higher load on the circuit than expected. Dirty, higher resitance socket. Perhaps a vandal connected a trailer (with its additional lights) without your knowledge.

yes that is a different mix of symptoms. Is the can grounded good.

Did you change the right flsaher? There are two. One for the turn signals and one for the emergency lights.

a speedy flash sometimes can be caused by a burned bulb somplace..

"Is the can grounded good?"

A ground is not required for the any turn signal flashers on these cars.

I've had a few that did not work right with the can dangling & I put it back in it's holder & it went back to normal.

thanks guys, I will look for he other flasher the can is the spacer between the wheel and the column right, I have a rimblow, I need to check the other flasher becuase I dont get anything when I flip the turn signal now it just stopped lighting up when I put the switch up or down before it would stsy lite. thanks

Anybody know were the second flasher on a demon would be I found one with pink wires but I ddnt see another one is it behind the kick panel thanks

It won't be behind the kick pad. It might be either next to the ash tray or over near the glove box under the dash IIRC.

Three cheers for stumpy, Thank you that was it.

I like a simple cheap fixes.
