Turn signals flash real slow.

My turn signals flash really slow on my TA but the hazards flash at the normal rate.

Is this a problem with the flasher?

Highly likely.
Hazard has separate flasher unit

Interesting - the passenger side turn signal on my '88 IROC is slow, but the driver's side is fine.
Any ideas?

My car is doing something similar, driver's side will sometimes (now most of the time) will just turn 'on'/ not flash. otherwise it will flash normally. pass side always flashes normally.

Re: Turn signals flash real slow.

I have the same problem with the slow flashing and sometimes they just turn on. Also, I have had an issue with my volts. Every time I turn on the turn signals my volts drop bad. I was told that this is called volt drop. I changed my alternator, and the ground wire and replaced the starter. The only thing I can think of is the wire from the battery/alternator to the starter. For my car the battery/alternator wire goes to a fuse box type thing and then splits into two wires both heading to the starter.
