When I start the bus both right and left turn signals blink very rapidly. After I drive it for awhile - maybe 20 minutes - the turn signals start to slow down and are almost normal. Any ideas? Is it a bad relay? I've checked all the grounds and they are good. I've replaced all the bulbs. It's 12 volt.
Any help is appreciated. |

Maybe it is a grounding issue. Does this look correct? I don't see a ground on the front left turn signal.

| Do you mean they both blink rapidly at same time when bus is started, or just when signaling for a turn after starting? IF the second, since they both do it, I'd suspect the relay. if first, you have way bigger problems! |

| Only one side flashes. In other words, both sides don't flash at the same time. |

When using the turn signal lever? Since it happens on both sides, it can't be just a bad ground on one bulb. Still, very easy to add grounds to t/s housings, and I recommend it.
I moved the wire less visible later...
After that, check the grounds on your t/s relay, or try another unit. The fact that it gets better over time makes me think something internal to the relay, but easy enough to eliminate if you have a spare.. |

| This reads like a voltage regulator problem. When you first start the voltage is sky high. Then as the battery absorbs the voltage lowers. |
