Turn signal speeds II

If you have a poor ground connection, concurrent with a speed
difference, you will have a dimming of the bulbs on that side. When you
get a poor ground sufficient to change speed, you will have lower
voltage. Without one side having dimmer lights not much chance of a
ground problem. The way it works, think of a quick bi-metal strip that
gets hot and opens then closes quickly. The greater the current drain
the hotter it gets and the quicker it opens and closes. If a bulb is
out on one side the current is less so that side takes longer to get hot
and cycle. What was presented on the list was a perfect example of one
bulb out but since that doesn't seem to be Andy's problem we're looking
in the corners. If all bulbs are the same brightness they are all
getting the same voltage...no ground problem and no ground intercept
problem (wiring).
