The blue wire is the P contact to the pilot bulb. The black wire is the L contact to the switch. That is why I thought I could tie them together so everything blinked at the same time. The old and new flashers perform the same on the bench with a continuity tester. The P contacts are closed at rest. That would seem to be the problem but I have not been able to find out which flasher would be the correct one. ( with open P contacts at rest)
Thanks for your input.
