Based on some reading I did on here, I went out and bought myself a 'Tail-light converter' like they use on trailers to allow a brake bulb to also flash for a signal. The problem is when I wire it all up, I can get the running lights to work (2nd bulb), but the brakes don't, signal or no signal.

My question is; the flasher has always been a bit touchy, where I would have to give it a knock once in a while to work. Could this flasher be causing the converter to not give me brake or signal lights? A faulty flasher cutting out your brake lights seems hazardous, but it's the only thing that I can think of.

Thanks!
