Probably the flasher. Might be the connections to it; but more likely the flasher itself, IMO. I once went through a half dozen or so mechanical flashers, different brands and model numbers, without finding one that worked right. A Tridon EL-13 "electronic" flasher solved the problem.
Another workaround that made the aftermarket flashers work was to change the wiring to the dash lamp; but I don't recommend it.

Same here, I bought a "universal" flasher which didn't work right. Went through two repros before I had one that worked. I'm sure Randall would have mentioned it if there was, but I don't think there is anyplace else that there is a common wire to the dash indicator. I too, am electrically challenged, but you might just check through the connections and make sure they are all in the correct place before you order another flasher unit.
I bought a replacement flasher from MOSS (171-300) for my TR-3A and had the same problem
My right and left signals worked properly with the dash indicator light blinking correctly.
When not signaling, the dash indicator would stay on.
I found a solution on this form, stating that all that is need to fix this problem, is to remove the ground
connection to the dash light indicator and add a wire from WHITE wire (+12v) connection at the ignition switch
to where the ground connection on the indicator lamp.
This fixed my problem with this type flasher. I took apart this flasher to see why it wasn't working.
I found out that there is only one contact the operates both dash and signal lights.
Triumph TR-3A's require two separate contact switches.
Try it before buying more flashers.
