Part Identification 70 'cuda

[cuda dad]

I was looking for my signal flasher because it's blinking too fast. I found this and unplugged it. I noticed it was quite hot. The signals and emergency flashers still work without it.
What is it?
Should it be hot?

Guess I should have looked a little further!
What on earth is this?

you might want to check all your bulbs, if you have one burnt out it will cause the others to flash fast

I replaced the delay timer with no change. I replaced the flasher and now the signals flash normally. Apparently, the flasher can make a difference in the frequency of the signals.

There are actually TWO flashers. One is for the turn signals (ashtray) and one is for the 4-ways. IIRC, it's on the steering column support.
