The turn signal flasher works on lamp current. More current, faster flash rate, low current, slower flash rate. If you have a slow flash rate and even with a new flasher, then you do not have all of the turn signal lamps on, or you have a poor connection in the lamp socket or a poor ground connection causing lower lamp current. Watch the lamps (front and rear) with the turn signal on, are they full brilliance? Don't forget the side marker lamps in the front.

I checked all the lights and they are in the sockets good. when i hit the flasher it makes a weird click noise for each blink, my radio dims on each blink, and they blinkrs that are signaled to flash barely light up.

Lucky for me they still had the Muffler Bearings in stock. I got 2 of them, one for each muffler. Can't wait to install them.

I found that the problem was that they gave me a light bulb with only 1 connection point on the bottom and corvettes need bulbs with 2. Thnks for all the info I'll make sure to put it to later usage.

You're still probably overdue to change your blinker fluid, though. Every 150,000 blinks is the recommended interval...
