When I bought the car, the turn signal worked, but was labored. After a week or so, this small part finally gave up the ghost. When I hit the turn signal the light would come on, but would not blink.
Some quick research found the Turn Signal Flasher was the issue. While the Wagner pictured above is no longer made, Brotherton (http://www.brothertoncadillac.com/) did have a replacement. After trading $30 for the part, I was ready to change it out.
The process is a simple unplug, re-plug into the wires under the dash. Easy!
Once the new flasher was in a quick test proved everything worked great. To get road conditions I took Elle for a quick drive to the beach and notice one thing, there is no clicking sound when I use my turn signal. It is... weird! I did source an unused Wagner 323 on Ebay and may get it. The silent turning is creepy.
