If the left-hand flashes OK then it's not the flasher unit, there is one =
flasher unit for the hazards and one for the turn signals.
When one side glows but doesn't flash the problem is in the circuit that =
side. The original flasher units needed a certain amount of current to =
flash properly, and if that current reduces they flash slower or stop. =
If one bulb fails the other will glow continuously, but that should be =
obvious by checking both ends.
If both are glowing then either one or both bulbs is too low a wattage =
or there are bad connections in the circuit. These need patience to =
resolve by measuring volt-drops through the circuit, this may help =
http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/electricstext2.htm#fault2
However if this only started when the turn switch was replaced you =
should check the connections there first, making sure the two connectors =
are fully pushed together and none of the pins have been pushed out of =
the back.
