[DeTomaso] Time for a turn signal rebuild?

[B. Seib]

There are two flashers. The early one is 4 pin connection and the late one
is 3 pin (Tridon Stant EP 35).  In April 1972, the 4 pin type was still in
use. The 4 pin type will need a conversion to use the  Tridon Stant EP 35.
SOBill has done all the thinking for us again on this one.

Details are on Mike Dailey's great site:

It sounds like it could be a bad flasher unit. If it works at first and then
speeds up when it gets hot, that's how the old bimetal flasher might fail.

>>>That's not a switch issue.   When a turn signal blinks in double-time,
it's caused by one of the two turn signal bulbs being on the fritz.
Chances
are you've got schmeg in the connector between the turn signal harness and
the main wiring harness in the front, or where the wires connect to the lamp
itself.

Jack the car up, pull the wheels, pull the access panels, and clean all your
connections....and do the rears too, while you're at it. :>)
