Does anyone have a pic of the standard flasher unit for 71 Cuda/Barracuda? Also where it is located under the dash.Turn signal lights started to flash way too fast,now will not flash at all.
All bulbs are ok and they work when hazard switch is pressed. The workshop manual shows a pic of the hazard unit which has been found and is ok.Just cant find the other unit which flashes lights when turning.Must be buried somewhere!
Cheers in advance for any help.

Turn the hazards on and have a listen under the dash for the location. You should be able to hear it "ticking".

Hazards work ok ,already found that one It is another unit that flashes lights when turning.Now does not work so doesnt make any noise when left/right turn is selected.

Sorry, I did not appreciate it was a separate flasher.

If you need to replace it, go to your local car spares shop and ask for a flasher unit for an Austin Mini. They should have one in stock.

Both flashers are interchangeable. Find the flasher one and swap in the one for the hazards as a quick fix. Let's face it, if you need the flashers on its a bit late to worry about indicators!

Sorted
No wonder had difficulty finding the damn thing.It is located to the right side of the centre ashtray tucked up near the top of the glovebox.Not as you would think on drivers side of dash.
Thanks for the advice guys.

If originality is not vital i fitted an electronic flasher which is superb and about £10 from Moss. No more slow indicators and a decent warning sound.
