[T2] turn flasher/clicker - an easy solution

[Robert Mann]

	Thanx to those who pointed out that this one-side-only fault 
could not be in the 'clicker'.
	The last-mentioned notion below turns out to be correct.  I 
removed the powdery corrosion off the base of the L rear 
turn-indicator bulb with a nail-file, and everything was back to 
normal.
	Conclusion: a high resistance on one side can cause that side 
to flash v fast and the 'clicker' to make a rude noise; and sometimes 
that resistance is no more than readily-removed oxide powder on the 
bulb base.

	Sometimes solutions are easy!


Blessings to all on the happiest day of the year
