lots of things can cause those problems. I would first check bulbs for good contact on terminals might as well replace your flashers, cheap insurance. FIRST START, MAKE SURE charging system is good if you dont have good voltage it can cause that problem, I have kick myself in the head with this one, 13 to 14 volts is sufficient. Do they work better if engine is reved up with sigs on. if all checks out you probaly have some loose or bad wiring some were.

Either the flasher is bad or you don't have enough circuit current to make them flash. Bad bulbs, LED bulbs, bad grounds, disconnected or broken turn signal wires all reduce the circuit current.

I would agree with the flasher.....

Had the same problem years ago. Easy and cheap place to start. Actually keep an extra one in the glove box these days!

The hazard flasher makes a good emergency spare and troubleshooter. It's interchangeable with the TS flasher.
