[viperman]

Was out today and used my turn signals and I get one blink about every 3 or 4 seconds
vvveeeerrrrrrryyyyyyyyy slooooooooooooooooooooooow blink
Any ideas of the problem and a fix .

[SouthernM715]

nope..but I do have the new style turn signal assembly and cable Ill sell ya

[viperman]

Holy flashback.............I think I remember
A bad bulb somewhere in the chain!

I'll check it tomorrow

[brute4c]

Maybe a bulb or a ground...I'd make sure the grounds are good anyway...

Is this the solid state turn signals or the setup with the big distribution box and the turn signal switch in the cab that says "Sparton" on it?

[viperman]

Yup it says sparton on the turn signal arm

[brute4c]

Then its the early style with the large distribution box under the hood...in that box are electrical relays that may be getting to the end of their service life and are slowing down...

They arent sold seperately anywhere...if this is your problem, I have the guts out of a dixt. box somewhere...if I can find them...or Saturn Surplus sells the whole box for somewhere around $40 to $50...heres a link to their page:

Turn Signal Distribution Box, $46.50...in the ballpark...

If you have the old style turn signal box

The number of good bulbs shouldn't make a difference.

Make sure the ground is good at terminal M (like Brute says) and the connection to terminal D is good and tight. You should have a full 24v to D.

See circuit description and diagrams near the end of this page:

Amphi is THE man when it comes to the distribution box...he did all the internal dist box circuit diagrams so nicely for us.
