Agreed. But slow/no flashing can also be caused by a duff flasher unit
(as happened to me), or by dirty contacts anywhere along the circuit,
thus increasing the resistance and reducing the current (as also
happened to me). And the original poster asked about the scenario where
the flasher clicks, but the lights don't flash, which you didn't cover -
and I don't have any suggestions either on that one! (You did cover
flasher clicking and lights staying off, but I interpreted the original
post to read flasher clicking but lights staying *on* - maybe I
interpreted it wrong?)
