Default 2001 1200xlc turn signals

Turn signals hardley seem to stay on long when engaged. Left signal stays on longer than the right. Will changing the blinker module remedy the situation and leave them on a little bit longer?

What do you mean? Is this while moving or sitting still? The signals turn off based on speed sensor/distance traveled, and I believe the bank angle sensor as well.

I remembered seeing another thread on this from quite a while back:

And here's what I found:

Directionals cancel after rear wheel travels a certain distance at a specific speed. Turn signal module begins measuring the distance traveled immediately upon release of the turn signal switch button.

Directionals will remain flashing for the following distances within the speed ranges specified: Speed range#1 00-34 mph 221ft or 0.04 miles, Speed range #2 35-44mph 339ft or 0.06miles, speed range #3 45-60mph 680ft or 0.13 miles, Speed range #4 61+mph 1051ft or 0.20 miles
