    Don't know about on a Pete, but in a Volvo the flasher sounds like it is flashing fast when you have a burned out bulb anywhere, but when you watch the lights they are flashing at normal spped. I had one bulb that had a loose base, and would work intermittently, drove me nuts.

    Thanks everyone, replaced the flasher with a new Grote 20 lamp flasher. Also found a problem with the ground on the right front turn signal lamp. Everything works good now.

    Hey Coyote, I don't imagine you just changed over to LED lights/bulbs, did you? Probably not or you would have mentioned it but that would require a specific flasher or a little wiring ingenuity. Just a thought...
