My sister has a 4-Motion. I noticed recently difference #5,647... Our turn signals don't even blink at the same rate. They didn't even use that part in both cars. Her's just blinks way too fast for my taste. :-P

Default the turn signal relays....

I am not sure how they work, but I have had the same cars, a 95 and a 96 subaru, next to each other in my driveway, and they NEVER blinked at the same rate, even though the relays were the same parts...

anyone know exactly how these work in terms of blink speed?

The relays probably have a loose tolerance on them is all.

I thought it was the capacitor size that matters? It depends on how long it takes to charge.
