I think I might have Christine's cousin with my '63 Fury as I have a couple posts out on weird BS problems! After months of no hassles with my blinkers, developed one when driving...the blinkers are lethargic, super slow, that is until I stop or when it's parked...they work fine! I have LED tail/brake lights and the flasher unit required with the extra ground wire installed. Now in the past couple days this is the deal. Thought I'd throw out a post on this in case anyone has run into this problem before I go on a hunt trying to figure out the problem. Thanks!
 
could it be a bad flasher?Did you try to contact the vendor you bought it from and ask them? Did it work fine when you installed it and then started acting up?

I had the LED's and flasher in for several months no problem and out of the blue started acting up..
 
yeah getting another flasher is the simple thing to do first off.
 
Where is the flasher grounded? Recently have had issues with poor grounds under the dash

That LED flasher I had to get has a ground wire so I connected it to the metal underside of my dash. Know what ya mean about grounds...my gas gauge works great then doesn't and works again...assuming it might be the ground or something more.
 
To let ya know here, I put in a new flasher for 22 bucks and so far so good. The symptoms of the problems were unlike anything I've encountered before, ya know, a bad flasher goes to **** and that's that...but this one would work fine some of the time and then not. Could be the LED flasher comes with weird problems when they take a dump...
