slow turn signals



Chris,

What are mechanical turn signal switches?  I've seen stuff from as early
ar the 40s and even that stuff used bimetal strips to control flash
rate.  If that's the case with your car it sounds like a charging system
problem.

I have another classic car that has mechanical turn signal switches.
When I slow down to turn the corner, the rate of click get slower and
slower to the point of ceasing altogether. I was told that this switch
was mechanical (vintage 1962) and that it was just tired. I suspect
older Imperials have similar types. Has anyone ever rebuilt something
like this, Imperial or not? Can I open it up and refurb it, or must it
just be replace, OR is that just the way it is? Thanks gurus. Chris
