:lol: Agreed - that's what I am (MET / machine design puke). I suck too much at higher math to be a true nerd!

No, not the relay, that's before the circuit branches to L/R at the switch - the diode array at the indicator lamp.

Just my best semi-educated guess:
I'm thinking that the voltage (think of...

Yabbbut, although that will fix the fast-flash issue, it has nothing to do with his problem - the other side lighting dimly when one side is flashing. I started to mention installing one of those...

I must respectfully disagree. If it were in series, it wouldn't need to be nearly the size (power/wattage capacity), since it would only be passing a few milliamps. 'Load' resistors are way lower...

I believe LEDs must have a resistor wired in series to operate in a 12V system, because full system voltage (~14V) will simply fry them otherwise. The commercial ones typically have the LEDs &...

Those 'load resistors' in addition to whatever is in there already might drop voltage TOO much & dim the ones you do want flashing.

Edit: Those are fairly low resistance/high-wattage & intended...

Ahh - that makes sense, thanks for the illumination... :rofl::backingout:

As to only the rears only doing it - I bet the fronts have a bit higher value inline resistors which are dropping the...

Gotcha - yep, even simple circuitry can become really confusing shit. I remember the electron flow being opposite conventional circuit flow throwing me for a loop back in school - one reason I...

Nah, not bizzaro - pretty typical diode application, similar to how the AC current from the stator is 'rectified' to DC current by only allowing the 'positive' voltage through (but with only 2 legs...

Bingo (I think) - those little triangles with the bar in front are symbols for diodes, and with a circle around it is an LED. So it does have a single indicator light, right? The four diodes...

Right - since diodes are basically electrical one-way valves & LED's are Light Emitting Diodes.

The branches headed to the right are to the dash indicator(s), I expect - so if there's a back-feed...

Ahh - It just dawned on me, I bet what may be causing it is a 'backfeed' through the dash indicator circuit which is producing a small voltage on the opposite-hand signal circuit.
Especially if your...

The flasher relay supplies/interrupts power to the switch and the switch completes the circuit to R or L blinkers, so I don't think an issue w/ the relay could be causing the problem you described,...
