[V6-12v] blink-blink-blink vs blinkblinkblink

[Clive Young]

I'll bet it is a bulb wattage issue. The current draw on the flasher unit
from the light bulb sets the flashing rate. Re trace your steps carefully,
did you first swap the bulb with another one from somewhere on the car to
verify the bulb and forget to put it back ? I know because I had this
problem on my first Porsche . I took all the bulbs out during a cleaning
right after I bought the car and inadvertently swapped the brake light bulb
with the signal light on both sides. It blinked twice as fast as it should
have on both sides, but because I had just bought the car I didn't know how
it flashed before hand.... and using the opposite side to check didn't help
.... That one only took me about 2 years to figure out :-)...

try swapping the left and right bulbs, see if the
blink, blink follows the the 1034...  :)

I can't believe i used blink, blink in a serious
technical e-mail :)
