Replace the bulb, and the circuit will have enough resistance to trigger the flasher relay again.

The OEM relay is mechanical and requires a certain load to trigger it.

New bulb = flashy-flashy.

Are your tail lights collecting water like an aquarium? If they are, drill some small holes in the bottom. I did this to mine and eliminated lots of corrosion issues. I also use dielectric grease in my sockets.

I had to do the same thing as hooknladder with one of my Camaros. The tail light kept collecting water and frying the bulbs. A small hole in the bottom of the tail light did the trick, though.

I reglued the assembly to make it air tight again.
