Turn Signals freeze at low idle

I've been dealing with this for a while, i usually stick my foot on the gas pedal a little so people can see that I am turning when stopped.

When i am sitting still, its like the rpm's are too low to power the relay? The turn signals will just stay on (not flashing) unless you rev it a little higher.

Could this be a simple flasher relay? Ive never had this in any other old mopars.....

its in my 71 Challenger

What does your electrical load look like, stock? Sounds like maybe a combo of the expected low rpm charging and some resistance due to age may be dropping the voltage to the flasher enough to keep from operating.

Yes it is your old mechanical flasher, get a new electronic one and it will flash faster at low volts.
