Flasher relay trouble
Seeking advice on sources of trouble with my flasher relay repeatedly burning out.
1978.5 flh with oem equipment. 1156 bulbs.
1st time the problem occured I replaced the relay with the available small oem rectangular shaped relay from our favorite suppliers. It didn't last long.
2nd time I replaced with an automotive round relay from my local parts store. It didn't last long.
3rd time I used a heavy duty Novita brand electromechanical unit rated at 20amps and 12 lamps. This unit lasted about a year. Now that one failed!
I've been through all the bulbs for corrosion as well as the sockets for corrosion. I have not removed wires from the turn signals to check for corrosion because that task looks daunting. I will if anyone feels it neccesary.
So I ask politely, do any of my shovel friends have suggestions to fix this issue?

Yes, buy one of these from China, this has lasted 5 years so far. Works with LED bulbs too.
