Thanks for the advice. First I swapped out the LEDs for the original bulbs; did not help. Then I took your suggestion. My test light fired correctly for both right turns and left turns. So as you say I can now look for a ground issue after the bulbs. That also tells me that neither I or the PO was silly enough to just reverse the bulb locations.

Targa80 seems to have solved this by his mod, but for some reason I am reluctant to use a different flasher and ground things differently

Can I do a targa80 half mod where I keep my correct flasher but add a ground on each bulb?

I'll study the wiring diagram and see what else I can come up with.
