Do you hear your flasher ( turn signal ) clicking during the time it is flashing? does it speed up or slow down when you turn on your turn signals? does it flash even with the key off and out and your car just sitting?

It is not in anyway related to the blinkers. I found the dome light control module and when unhooked it stops blinking, but... nothing works then....
What happened is I was replacing the rag joint, thus brought down the steering wheel to R&R the rag... after reinstalling the steering wheel the dome light started doing is blinkie thingie.. But I do not see any wires smashed or??? so why... just coincidence?

The dome light on my 77 just came on when I was driving then went out,then it would come on again and then out and stay on when I shut off the car and shut the door.Timer went bad.I took it out and plugged the connectors back together and it works fine.Comes on when you open the door and goes off whenyou close them.

Called Wilcox corvette and they do not know if any of these modules are available now...
I may need both the dome light delayed shutoff unite as well as the buzzer warning unit that plugs into the fuse box...
Anyone know where I can get these? and how much $$$$
