vendor and/or part number for electronic turn signal relay?

I replaced the stock incandecent turn signals with generic LED signals.  Installed the diode to fix the ground problem with the turn indicator, but they still will not blink--the correct signals turn on, but remain steady.

My understanding from some previous threads is that I need to replace the stock bi-metallic turn signal relay with an electronic one, but the thread doesn't suggest a vendor or a specific part.

What should I be looking for and where should I look for it?

Sorry to wake the dead, however I feel my question is relevant. My incandescent turn signals stopped working, all of them, I assume the switch is fine and I also I assume that the bulbs are fine; if so, would replacing the relay with the above mentioned solve the problem of them not working?

They don't light up at all? I could be wrong, but a bad relay would just turn the lights on solid (no blinking).

My guess would be connection to the turn signal switch or the switch itself. Wiring diagram and a volt meter would isolate the problem.
I doubt it is the relay unless the connection to the relay is corroded. Pull it off and clean the connections.
I agree that a bad relay 95% of the time the lights will stay on.

As a newbie, be aware that there are people known as "parts whores" that have about any part you need and can ship  really fast. Post a Want To Buy if you need a part and buy from fellow members. If no one has it, they will usually tell you where to get it.

It was the relay. I took a gamble and replaced it. Turn signals just stopped working one day, no lights - nothing. What's annoying now, is that it clicks when thy indicate and I have spare bulbs that don't quite fit. Damn obscure aftermarket signals, with rare bulbs  :mad:.

BTW I used the LL552 relay at Pepboys, it's about $8.00 and is round - I ziptied it.
