Its like it does not have enough juice to power taillights headlights and flashers. I use a 3 pin 12 volt switch. I do not see a seperate switch for the emergency flashers so I assume the 3 pin switch controls flashers, taillights, and emergency flashers. Is there anything i can do to make it all work? I have tried switching the flasher fuse to no avail as well

Are you saying that the flashers work with the headlights on or that they work with the front signals hooked up? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 111 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 111 | Sorry for confusion, I meant the flasher itself is a 3 pin 12 volt flasher. I started to jack with it tonight and noticed that its gotten even worse, to get my taillights to work i have to put on hazard switch, which will activate taillights without flashing weird. Anyways I just got back from autozone and the kid said that the alternator is bad. I am hoping that the alternator is the cause of all the weird signals!!!
