i still use arm signals in my bug. :) just a work
around for a 6volt, but i know the issue is with the
blinker assy near the steering wheel. $ are tight so
i try and no get my arm ripped off my some mad a**ed
8mpg driver or a rear gunner.

I would say it might be the turn arm contact on the steering
area or maybe even a relay that controls the blink pulse,
thier are some relays near the fuse area.

careful when working on this stuff I like to disconnect the
batt and always check for sloppy wires or shorts, relays
are a bit more work to troubleshoot. DVM needed

do you haz-ards work?

best of luck.
