Hi there,

I would be thinking that the window switch or the motor is failing and you are having a current draw issue, I would un plug the motor and see if the switch alone is acting up, (place a test light in place of the motor to make a circuit, also is the motor slower that the others, with the indicators, if all the globes are ok, change the flasher can.

Hi there,

The flasher can is the control device that gives the constant flash rate for the indicators, I will locate a pic and location for you and post back.
