so ive tried a search on this but coudn't find anything..ive got a 89 trans am GTA...my problem is that the blinkers blink slow...very slow..I changed the blinker flasher..all bulbs are good..they all blink, its just very slow..any input would be helpfull..thanks

 

Did you change the correct Flasher unit??? There are two under the dash, one for the turn signals & the other for the emgr. flashers. So take another look this the problem in almost all cases of slow flashers.

 

iam having the same problem but only my left turn signal does it. my right works fine.wanted to know where that flasher is located, so i can change it and see if that works?

 

I have the same problem with my '91 Z. Blinkers are pretty slow, and are a bit random, on both sides. All the bulbs flash bright, too. It's a bit annoying, but seems to be an easy fix for the most part!

 

My signals were really slow flashing also on my '86 trans am, I replaced the flasher unit and they flash like normal now, so that is definitely the first place I would suggest checking, @threeohfive: not sure about your setup, but my turn signal flasher and hazard flasher relays were located in the convenience center drivers side right side of column under the dash on left side of radio area, if you turn your turn signals on you should hear where the flasher is.

 

See...I actually WANT a slower flasher. Mine flashes too fast.

What flasher do you have? I need to find a slower flasher. 2 actually, Turn & Hazard, but mainly the Turn one.

 

BadGumba...I see you are near Austin. North? South? East? West? I'm NW & would be happy to meet up & trade my too-fast-for-me flasher for your too-slow-for-you flasher.

 

mine both work but they seem to get tired of blinking after a few seconds! lol. when I put my blinkers on they blink at normal speed then start slowing down until the blinker just stops blinking & stays on. any idea what it could be?

 

Flasher.

 

Also check to be sure you have the correct bulbs installed, and they are all working. Flasher units correlate with with the bulb wattage. For example, your flasher will cycle faster when one bulb goes out, because it is not pulling enough power.

If you have a power drain, extra bulbs in the circuit, or bulbs pulling more than the recommended wattage for the system, this will slow your flasher.

However, sometimes it can be a flasher unit. I always replace mine with the heavy duty electro-mechanical units when they go out... they last 5x longer.

 

it was only my flasher, very easy $6.99 fix! THANK YOU!

 

Im having the same problem, but only when my lights are on. Otherwise they blink normally. any ideas how to fix this?

 

Check the blinker fluid.

 

Well my car just died while i was driving and doesn't turn over anymore. so Im assuming my blinked problem had to do with either the battery or alternator being bad

 

lmao @ watajob...Great advice. the blinker fluid was low. Now its filled to the brim!! lol
