When first tried, the lights on the signal flashed away, and looked great. But nothing at the park or tail lights. Got the meter out and could detect a very small voltage pulse. Detectable voltage, but not enough to light the halogen park and tail lights. I figured flasher sat too long or something. I ran to the store and first tried a heavy duty electronic flasher. Had X-L-P tabs just like one I had. Nothing.
Went back and got a regular three prong flasher. Prongs were '+', 'L', '-'. Changed the wires with P to '+', and X to '-'. Park and taillights flash, but quickly. (Flasher flashes doublespeed when bulb burned out, but all my halogen bulbs are working fine.) Also, the turn signal doesn't light up and flash anymore. The hazards work fine.
:mad:
What flasher can work! Thanks! :confused:

Advance Auto Parts had the TRIDON Stant 12V 550. It not only flashes correctly, but doesn't have the problem I've seen before of the red indicator light staying on.
Now to run around returning flashers....

I was at the local wrecking yard and saw a flasher hanging on a COE Advanced Design. The guy gave it to me for free. It's great. The new ones blinked way too fast.
