 As does the TR8.=C2=A0 Heck even the TR250 has separate flashers for the t=

Standard troubleshooting procedures apply.=C2=A0 If both sides are acting t=

Jaguars of the same vintage used separate flasher units for the turn signal=
s and the hazard lights (same bulbs of course).
Just something to consider if you haven't checked.
