86 regal slow turn signals?

[Tz44]

My regal has very slow turn signals. They've been that way since I bought the car but they're starting to annoy me now. They're very slow when the headlights are on. Is this a bad ground somewhere or something? If so, where should I start looking?

Thanks

if it's only when the headlights are on I'd check the charging system and battery

New battery and alternator. Both are good.

then I would try a new turn signal flasher, it's a two pronged flasher that fits on the lower right just in case you didn't know where to find it

Thanks, the more I think about it the more I think it's a ground at the taillight or something. The voltage seems to drop more than normal when I use the turn signals or hit the brakes.

It was just the flasher. The one in the fuse box is the hazard flasher though. The turn signal flasher is around the steering column under the dash. Thanks for the help!

good that it was a easy fix, the hazard lites in the fuse box is on the top left. The bottom right is the flasher but I guess the 86 Regal is different
