2001 VN - Fast-blinking turn signal problem

Hello all,

I drive a 2001 VN condo. Since I was assigned the truck, I've had this problem with the signals. When I'm bobtailing, the turn signals blink rapidly, like a car does when a light is out. They all work though. Same thing happens when I pull a trailer that has LED lights. However, when I pull a trailer without LED lights, the signals blink normally. Bobtail, or pulling a trailer with either kind of lights, and the four-ways work like they're supposed to all the time.

It has a NAPA flasher in it, so I'm wondering if perhaps it has the wrong flasher. Not sure if that's the case or maybe I should look at something else? Been trying to locate the correct part number for the flasher, but haven't found it yet.

Any thoughts? Comments are much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Thanks. I just saw something where someone said something about a replacement flasher that could handle the LED's. I live close to a T/A. Might call over there and just see if they have one that would work, until I can get one from Volvo.

 

Thanks for the message. Kinda decided that's what I needed to do. Talked to a guy at TruckPro today and he found the part number 44890 for an LED flasher from Grote. Now I can't find one in stock anywhere. Guess I'll have to order one. I have a feeling that's all it is though.

 

Sorry for the delay. Had to leave that night, and just got home a little bit ago. Didn't have my password to log in to reply while I was gone. Still haven't found the flasher, but I'll order one tomorrow I guess. Thanks for the messages, folks. I'll let you know what happens.
