Another turn signal problem

[Guest]

Hi there im fixing up an 86 gs 550 the head light works turn signals work but they flash super slow even on a fully charged battery, slow to come on slow flash im using an after market relay one of the little round jobbers from the local auto parts store,might this be the problem?im also have after market signals (non led). I really wouldn't feel safe without them flashing faster HELP please

Sometimes there's just not enough current flow to operate the OEM flashers when using those little lights.

Try an LED electronic flasher. That should operate with those little lights.

Electronic LED Flashers have no minimum load-12VDC. Eliminates the need for load resistors, turn signals will flash at normal rate with or without LED bulbs. Use the Flasher Selection Guide to determine the correct Flasher for your vehicle.
