My turn signals blink like a sloth S. L. O. W. L. Y. Is it the flash cube or should I just hang my arm out the window

I can dig a spare out for you to test with, pay the shipping.

EP26 flasher relay is generally available and will light bulbs as well as LEDs just fine. It does need the C2 pin connected inside. It's a straightforward mod if you're handy with a solder iron. If not, I resell EP26 for the 914 with the mod done.

Thanks Sixer for the flasher cube I replaced it and still no go … so luckily I got one locally and the silver cube next to it that clips in and all it well now. I still don’t know which one was at fault I’m not sure how to bench test these? Also the old silver flasher had 5 prongs and a jumper lead from 30 to 56 but the replacement only has 4 prong. Some day I will need an electrical lesson but my patience is limited

You have a high low beam relay on the left and a turn signal relay on the right
