I swapped out the 12 volt flasher silver thingy for a 6 volt and they still don't work. Do the aftermarket steering column flasher units come in 6 and 12 volt or does it matter?

Bill | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | I did change the bulbs but not the one in the flasher unit itself. The headlights work as do the tail lights just no flashers. I looked again today (between rain storms) and noticed I only have two wires going into the flasher socket. I'm not the most flexable person and it's hard to see under the dash with my bad back. Not sure if I unplugged one wire when I changed the silver thingy but they did work on 12 volts. Are there supposed to be three wires plugged into the socket?
