Speedy J - flasher question

What the heck? So I'm driving home on the highway in today's heat wave and the flasher starts clicking and the two instrument panel arrows start blinking. At about twice normal turn-signal speed. It's normal in this bus for both arrows to light up without regard for which direction you're signaling.Nothing I can do will stop the flashing. The emergency flasher is not activate. However, I can cause it to go back to normal speed if I turn the turn signal lever to the right-turn or left-turn position. Center position? Clickclickclickclick . . .When I park the bus I check the turn indicators on the rear. With the turn signal lever in the center rapid-flash position, even though the two instrument panel arrows are flashing in sync with the clicking, neither of the bus's rear turn indicators are flashing. Moving the turn signal lever to the right or left position causes the rear turn indicator lamps to flash and indicate the turn per normal.What could make the flasher relay click at twice normal speed without lighting the turn signals at the back of the bus when the lever is in the center position?

And by doing so I can contribute to the knowledge base about these cars because -- honest injun now -- the inner workings of these black boxes has never been published?
