Where to get turn signal flasher

Post by chunstone »

Is the turn signal flasher a specific item and where would I get one?
Thanks.

Any decent auto part store will carry them.

It's just a generic flasher. Take yours out and bring it in to make sure you get the correct one from the auto parts store, they have a few different variations. I like the "electronic" ones myself. Are your blinkers not working? Just swap it with the emergency flasher one.

Yes the original ones were load sensitive to the number of bulbs on the circuit. If you were towing with one the signals were faster. If a bulb burns out, the flasher may not flash at all. An electronic one flashes at the same speed no mater what.
