Flasher
A question for you guys.
My signals are flashing very quickly is that my flasher? I know in my newer vehicles it usually means that one of the bulbs is burnt out but all the bulbs are working. Thoughts?

If a conventional thermal flasher flashes too quickly, it means the signals are pulling too much current. Incorrect bulbs could cause this. A heavy-duty flasher is load independent and would mask the issue but would not necessarily solve the problem (just hide the symptom). That is, unless the flasher itself is bad, for which a replacement would solve the issue.
