    Turn, Turn, Turn

    Almost forgot. Turn signals. The left side blinks much slower than the right side. Is this just a weak relay, or is it a ground issue? 1982 GS450L with most electrical components moved by the previous owner. Battery and all power connections are now behind the seat (if I had one).

    OK, one side is slower than the other. Which one appears to be correct?

    Could be that your left side (the slower side) is actually correct, and the right side is blinking to quickly.

    How does the flash rate compare to your car? Is either one close to that? Is the other one quicker or slower?

    It's likely NOT a flasher issue, as the flasher can not tell one side from another, it only knows that current is going through it.

    My guess is that your four turn signal bulbs do not match. At least one of them is different and needs to be replaced.

      The turn signals, as installed by the previous owner, are LED's and a matched set. Front is the same as the rear. The right side is closer in blink rate as my car. I'm starting to think that I need to uninstall everything custom and reinstall it, checking the connections, etc.

      Also, does anyone have a source for copper spade connectors?
