Default Flasher is ticking

My 1994 Honda accord ex flasher ticks when it is off. I put another flasher in and it still ticks. Other than the ticking everything works fine. Please help, it's driving me nuts. Thanks,
John

When you say it puts another flasher in, do you mean a new bulb?

Pontiacs have a similiar issue and it has to deal with the turn signal switch. For Pontiac's, a dirty turn signal switch causes the problem.

For a grand am you need to remove the multi-switch, take off the cover, clean the contacts inside with a q-tip, and put some fresh dielectric grease in there.

This a Pontiac fix, so it might work for the Accord, but don't quote me. You should disconnect the 20 pin connector from the turn signal switch to verify that the switch is the problem.

Does anyone else have some suggestions?

I will try that. The bulbs are fine. I installed a new flasher relay and it still ticks but does stop on occasion but then starts up again. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would also check the emergency light switch. Are all turn signals flashing at same time or none?

good luck

I made progress by checking loose connections; it helped,the clickingcomes and goes. I believe that I have to take apart turn signal unit and check the connections there. Thanks for all your help.
