I have a strange flasher can problem

The can i have is the original longer style 3 pin one. Not the 1" cube newer one

The indicators work - but sometimes they just start flashing quicker. Like one of the bulbs has blown.
All bulbs work, they just flash really quick.

if i turn the hazards on they flash normal.

If i put one of the newer flasher cans in it works properly - but occasionally, when first driving the car, the can starts clicking/buzzing. After a while it will stop clicking/buzzing
I dont believe the indicator lights are coming on and off.
It is too random and i am driving, so cant tell.

if i turn the head lights on while this is happening the clicking stops.

If i put my old relay in it doesnt happen.

Any ideas??

are all the flasher bulbs the same wattage as this will make them do above

check out the side of the flasher can and the wattage for the bulbs should be written on there

also clean all the terminals and earths on the blinkers and this may cause some inconsistency
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
