Hi, I have a '78 450 SLC. The turn signals flash very quickly when engine is cold. Normally, quick flashing means a blown bulb, in this case, all bulbs are good, after the car warms up, the indicators slow to normal speed. Any ideas ?

I have the same thing going with my 1973 280.

i am curious if it has something to do with vacuum system ?

This can be a symptom of a failing flasher relay. When the relay warms up from use or ambient temperature it works happiest.

Hey Donf, thank you for the advice. I have been searching for weeks to try and find solution. Nobody has offered any ideas. thanks again.

Searching for the solution to this issue you will find a few solutions from PelicanParts forum. One of the posts is about using VW/Audi part (part 111.953.227 D). Just wanted to report that this solution doe NOT work. (at least it didn't with my car).

Ended up ordering a new relay (Bosch 0 335 200 007) - around $60.

On my old 67' 220D fast flashing meant that on of the bulbs was out. Maybe you have a loose or dirty connection to one or more of the bulbs.

Just got the new one today - works like a charm.
