Default Turn signal indicator dash lights flash once

Just like the title says. All outside turn signals work properly with switch and hazard light switch.

Swapped turn signal flasher with another used one-no joy.
Cleaned contacts in flasher and hazard switch-no joy.
Checked fuses, cleaned contacts of fuse block with deoxit-no joy.

I can hear flasher ticking and lights come on strong once and then not again.

New flasher?

New flasher arrived. New flasher solved problem.

Also created a new problem, I added LED bulbs to warning lights and now the indicated signal flasher lights up brightly, but the opposite side also lights up a small degree (I'm suspecting due to current leakage that is not enough for incandescent bulbs--annoying).

You will need a resistor. One (total of 2) for the front and one for the rear. RL-650 6 ohm / 50 watt. (I have 2 extras). Also the flasher has to be in correct polarity. Here is a good website to better understand the LED concept with British style electronics. http://classicautoleds.com There is info on resistors and the right type of flasher units.
