weird capacitor
I should really go out and take a picture of this, OK, OK I did!
I am going to try to get my turn signal flasher back to factory. There is an OLD capacitor which has clearly leaked in parallel with the flasher. Where can I get a new one? And is the yellow flasher correct?
Best,
Karl

does the flasher say "D.O.T." on top, if not it should be right. the big venders like C.C., and P____n should have them, be ready to spend some money on them

That's pretty funny since ALL my radio does is make noise. Plus, I've owned the car for so long (bought it new) that I've already overhauled the radio twice and will NEVER do it again. I doubt if it affects the value of the car!!
