turn signal rate (Read 120 times)

Bobbert Serious Thumper Offline CHOP IT Posts: 836 Los Angeles, CA Gender:	turn signal rate 04/21/08 at 15:01:05 How fast do the turn signals flash on the savages? Mine are flashing several times a second. I thought I remember seeing them flash a lot slower, much like is common in cars. I relocated the rear signals recently, but I dont see how that should affect the rate.

I believe that the flasher flashes more quickly due to more current moving through it. If that is the case, there may be a short to ground somewhere after the signal, or it could be a difference in the type of bulb in the new signals.
