Hi Dave,

The emergency flasher relay is indeed also the turn
signal relay, but keep in mind the wiring for the turn
signals goes through the emergency flasher switch as
well.  What I'm getting at is the switch going bad
could be the problem.  If it were me I'd check to see
if I was getting enough current coming out of the
emergency flasher switch to lights, if any, when the
turn signal switch is activated.  The current comes
from the fusebox, through the flasher switch, through
the flasher relay, through the flasher switch again,
through the turn signal switch, then the relay again
then to the lights so you can see how a bad switch
could easily cause the problem.

I hope this helps,
Gregory Smith
