Flasher Keeps blowing....
« on: August 28, 2010, 03:59:42 PM »
So the Comanche had no turn signals when I bought it. Changed the flasher and all was good for a day or two. Blew again so I changed it again and this one worked for 2 blinks and died as well. Where do I look next ya figure?

Thanks

Somewhere in the system has a power wire that is being grounded out. Does it blow with a particular side on? (left or right?)

Honestly did not pay attention. I will replace it again and try to pay attention to what wide it blows with. I should also mention 4 way flashers work just fine.

Then I would have to say that your signal light switch is gone. Just an educated guess though. Maybe one of the other professionals can wager a guess but by order of elimination in my mind of grounds/power wires, sounds like the case to me.

Just a thought too, you positive its the right amped fuse and flasher? I couldn't put my finger on why the fuse wouldnt be blowing and the flasher would, but I would check fuse amp first. Previous owner could have had the fuse blow and blow and blow then just stuck like a 30 in there.... now the flashers blowing.
