    Oh wow, weird. Another forum turned up the same issue with someone with a Napa EP35 flasher relay:

    Everything was fine for this guy until he installed a second set of LEDs and then he started seeing similar symptoms.

    Is there an electronic, LED friendly flasher relay that you guys recommend? Maybe that is the problem after all.

    I have this relay: https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...c-flasher/782/

    Works perfectly, my only complaint is that I get 1 extra flash after the turn signal is in the off position. There is a different thread that covers that issue, seems to be present on almost all LED flasher relays.

    Ok, just to tie this one off. It was the flasher module. I ran older LEDs with this Napa one for a long time and didn't have trouble, but it just couldn't handle these fancy new ones.

    So I replaced this module:


    With this one:


    And now everything is perfect. Sigh. Thanks everyone for the ideas!
