Turn signals

Post by critter »

Turn signals seem to be slow then fast. No consistancy in they frequency. Is this an electrical gremlin Any suggestions?

If you have the original bimetalic flasher can it's indicative of the unit slowly going south.

Turn Signals - Electronic Flasher?

Post by Heed »

Dennis,

I take it that it would just be a straight "swap out" for the old mechanical flasher to an electronic one? I'm a little auto-electric challenged...

Cheers,
Bob

My flasher is doing the same thing and just this morning I ordered the Buss 24v 3 prong electronic flasher replacement unit. It took the Napa store a while to look up the part number, so in case someone needs it- Buss BE234 = Napa EG23.
I haven't received it yet, so I hope its correct.
Oh $17.99 and I should have it tomorrow afternoon!

NAPA flasher

Post by cwblevins »

I was having the same problem and replaced the flasher with the NAPA EG23 and it works great. You might want to seal the seam with a bead of hot glue to make it water resistant. I mounted the flasher using the stock bracket by grinding off the dimple that holds the stock flasher onto the bracket and hot glued the napa flasher on then put a cable tie around it for good measure.

I haven't done mine yet, but am pretty sure my original unit has 3 prongs. Here are the sdp-pinzgauer.org directions with some codes that might help with your 5 prong unit.-

Hey, got mine hooked up too- you were right, there were more connectors, but using the codes from SDP worked perfectly
