Hi, everybody.
Lately, the flasher on my 300D (w115, 1976) will, after a period of normal
blinking, start to blink rapidly. This first manifested after a general
fixup and renewal of the electrical stuff, so I'm thinking that maybe it's
just getting old and can't handle getting full power, and was fine with the
voltage drop my bad wiring threw at it.
Also, the emergency blinker works fine in the same circumstances, which
surprises me, since I think it's the same blinker relay.
Any suggestions?
The flasher interval is largely controlled by the resistance of the
lamps. When on lamp goes out (or resistance of the connections to it
increease) the interval shortens and the flasher frequency becomes
faster. Start by changing the bulbs, and cleaning the sockets and
connections.
