Not sure about a 75 but the flasher could be going bad.

Seems you are on the right track.

Check all sockets and make sure the bulbs are the correct ones. I once used a two filament bulb in a single filament application and had some crazy things happened). The sockets should be clean and free of any corrosion. If any of the bulbs are loose in the sockets, fix that by using a wedge (plastic or wood).

had the same issue and had to change the flasher

clean flasher connector pins first before buying if this is what you decide
