Turn signal problem???????????
I am getting an intermittent rapid flashing of the turn signals. The signals work but very rapidly. I thought the problem might be the flasher, but can't find any mention of or location of the flasher in the owners manual.
Would appreciate any help.

You can bypass the hazard switch and install a seperate flasherfor the turn signal. Made a bypass for about 10 bucks. You can find the fix in the tech forum. Just do a search under turn signals.

Before you work on the flasher, check to see if either the front or rear bulbs is not flashing when it should during the fast flash. It would be odd if both sides exhibited the same problem at the same time, but it only takes a minute to check. The flasher generally doesn't cause a fast flash, but with these complicated combined flashers anything is possible.

The signals use the same flasher and the hazards.
That unit is prone to malfunction. Many replace it.. There are a couple different approaches that you will find.
Many just turn the hazards on and off a couple times to clean the contacts and the turn signal function returns.
You will eventually have to change out the hazard flasher but the above approach may buy you 2-3 years.

You may be able to easily fix the problem with our hyperflash harness:

This will also allow you to convert to LEDs in the future to prevent heat-damage to your corner light housings caused by the factory bulbs.
