    Turn Signal Switch Box

    ...would be to make sure all the bulbs in all the lights are what they are supposed to be. If you have one that is not pulling the right amount of current THAT can cause the flasher to not work as it is a current driven device. It has to have a certain amount of current flowing before it will flash.

    Turn signal trouble shoot

    Be aware that the flasher is a CURRENT driven device. That means that it MUST have at least 1.3 amps of current flowing through it BEFORE it will flash. What this means to the end user is that at least TWO bulbs must be lit before there is enough current to cause the flasher to flash. That is...

    where is flasher relay hiding in a 73 FJ40

    ...other side? Some newer solid state flashers flash as soon as power is connected whether there is a load on them or not, while others are still current driven but just take a lot less current than OEM to activate. Glad you got it fixed with a new flasher but there is still an issue somewhere...

    Wiring Harness: New, Repair, Modify?

    I have given much thought to the OEM harness and it's shortfalls. The primary problem is relying on chassis ground to provide a return path for current instead of using harness grounds. That is easy to remedy. The second is running large currents through switches. The head light circuit...

    Rear wiring harness - tail stop turn backup ground

    ...came up with this: Since the brake/turn function is now the same because of the 3 wire to 2 wire converter, the hazard flasher being current driven will only flash when it senses enough current. When you apply the brakes ALL the LEDS come on which provides enough current to start flashing...
