Question Slow Rt directional
I have an '89 vet, on the way back from Carlisle I noticed the directional on the right side blinking very slowly compared the the left side. I decided to replace the right front bulb but still have the same problem. Because of the cars age I think its the switch in the steering wheel or a bad flasher. Any thoughts?

Thanks

HI there,
I would be looking at the ground source for that side, just to make sure there is enough electricity flowing there.
Check the resistance between the outer shell of the socket and ground.
You dont want anything more than about 3 ohms.
Allthebest, c4c5

Thanks c4c5, the problem is a bad front right socket the metal tab that runs up the inner part of the socket broke off causing a slow signal effect. I rig it up and it worked fine I just have to find a new one to replace it. Thanks again.
