Re: Rapid turn signal-- 700 1986

I agree the flasher is ok. I've learned the "bulb out" sensor is so sensitive (works by comparing left to right side resistance when bulbs come on) that I always replace both bulbs in the circuit or the bulb out sensor often continues to trigger the dash idiot light. I think the idiot light is a great idea, but it drives me nuts when it "false triggers" continuously.

I've also on several cars (owned 14 so far over 20+ years), had to solder new ground wires to the rear assembly sockets to make the sensor happy and keep the idiot light off.

Good luck
