I have a 96 Explore XLT with a strange flasher problem. I recently replaced both headlight assemblies to use get LED projectors. Since my left turn signal light (and socket) were broken, I replaced them at the same time. Once I did this, my left turn signal started flashing much faster than the right. I assumed that one of the left turn signal bulbs was broken. No luck, they were both fine and they seemed to be just as bright as the bulbs on the right.
I tried replacing the bulb and socket on the right to match the left. No Change. I tried swapping the bulbs and sockets between left and right. No change.
I decided the problem must be with the flasher. I looked for the flasher and found that the clicking noise was coming from a box right next to the battery. The box contained six plastic boxes that looked like relays. The two big ones at the front looked just like the picture of the flasher relay on the Orielly website. I pulled both of them. The Both the right and left turn signals continued to flash with no changes.
I have the factory manual on CD. It gives me a schematic but it does not seem to have the diagram showing where the flashers are located.
My questions are:
1] Where are the flashers for the turn signals?
2] What might be going on here?
