Don't remember seeing any replys. However, you may have gotten a bunch
privately.
1. Check remove the switch from the column again and see if it works any
better.
2. A slow flash means there is too much resistance and not enough current
to cause the bimetalic strip to open and close. Therefore, check
all bulb sockets. Clean them with a battery post wire brush. Check
all the grounds. Clean them with sandpaper.
3. I don't understand why putting the switch on the column would cause a
problem, unless you have a broken feed wire. Check the connections
for the switch, and check the connections at the wiring harness end.
It is possible that many of the strands of wire in the wire are broken
and when the switch is mounted to column the wire is pulled enough to
cause these broken strands to open up.
Hope this helps
