I post my story here to possibly save another poor soul the labor and currency I have expended.
Since I have owned my car, the right blinker has worked perfectly, while the left has either flashed slowly or not at all. In order to fix this issue, I have cleaned all the bulbs, bulb sockets, and grounds. I have disassembled and cleaned the switch on the column and the hazard switch (the blinker circuit runs through this). I have purchased two new flashers and was finally able to get the left signal working well with a generic one purchased from the local brick and mortar. However, the problem with the generic flasher is that it dangles bellow the dash. I have been toying around with ideas on how to fabricate a mount for the flasher when my hand was forced by my daughter (age 7) who declared "you need to do something about that, daddy, it looks really tacky." *sigh*
While staring the dangling flasher with shame and regret, I was inspired to try one last possible solution to my problem. I swapped the bulbs on the front blinkers from left to right.... and Bob is your mother's brother. The left blinker worked and the right did not. A quick trip to the brick and mortar and $4.99 later I plug in the old flasher that was installed in the car in 1979 and I have lovely, perfectly functioning turn signals.
