Default 58 LED Flasher Clicking - Noise Insulation

Hi Corvette folks,

My 58 LED flasher is clicking all the time when car is running. Car is not wet and stuff under the horn/steering wheel is new when I replaced 15-years ago, and flasher wire is grounded to valve cover.

Can I cover the LED flasher is some sort of heat tape or noise insulation to quite the ticking sound, without the flasher heating up?

I'm guessing these things can't start a fire, if covered-up!

Thanks,
Eric

Why treat the symptom and not the cause? Both of my cars have LED flashers and don't do that. You have something going on electrically...

Have you tried a new LED flasher to see if that fixes the problem?
