Flasher works when touch casing with hand or screw driver to screw that holds it onto bracket. Once I let go blinkers turn off. It looks to be grounded fine to bracket and ground wire runs from "S" terminal to E flasher switch.
What do you think?

I think you ground isn't 100 %. There have been several cases where new paint ruins the ground .

BTW, the "-S" wire to the hazard switch provides no overall ground for the main flasher relay, it only "grounds" when you turn that switch on and that just activates the hazard portion of the relay. It's open normally.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox.

That's what I thought so I used a wire brush and made contact point on bracket nice and shiny and made sure contact area on box itself was nice and clean. No go. Any other way to ground. I though about putting ground wire between contact point of box and bracket and finding other ground. Would that work?
