Blinker Mod

[Rookie]

I should have kept the box. Cost like $15 bucks

Its a blue module that plugs into the flasher socket.

Dava

Is this flasher a 5 pin?

I've had a partsman looking for a frequency doubling disabled flasher for 3 months and according to the aftermarket manufacturers they don't make one nor are they planning to make one

this is the wiring for ur relay based on the data sheet u posted

Steve

If u want to pick up a  flasher and give it to me along with the relay i'll do it for u

[redbull]

Don't put in the resistors they add heat and currunt draw to the system

Yes, but no more than a bulb does.

I had that exact wireup, and the signals would flash at a normal rate but the on dash indicator would be lit when the lights were on.

Perhaps my blinker was farked before, I had the simple "jumper" mod done, till I read that it could start a fire, so I pulled it out. And started looking for a micro-relay.

I'm at a loss now. I'll try to re-solder and see if my blinker truly is hooped.

Otherwise, I'm off for the weeekend.

Thanks for your help Steve!

No one told me I had to be able to draw to be an contruction worker

Gimmie a call when u get back and we'll hook up and u can try my
modded flasher and see if thats works before u buy a new one I'll pm u my #

Where did you get the relay Steve? I have tried to find it at RS but they told me they didn't carry it anymore.

Vince I got one at Active on 32nd I can't remember the part # but I can stop in on thurs and get it

the specs on it are

coil 12v
contacts 1A @24V
DPDT
aprox sixe L3/4" * H1/2" * D3/8"

HTH

Steve

Vince the part # at Active is
63045  DS2E-M-DC12
12vdc, 2a, DPDT relay
$5.46 + gst

Don't put in the resistors they add heat and currunt draw to the system

Yes, but no more than a bulb does.

But why add the heat and load if you don't have to

Plus if Chris did that I wouldn't get to make really long posts and get my post count up :lol:  :wink:

So, Rookie's wiring works. In fact it works just like I had it.

The dash arrows still stay lit, except when flashing normally during blinker duty.

The culprit, two-wire led's on the front. Thats why, stock harness is three-wire. So there is more "voltage sense" stuff going on than what the relay bypasses. Anytime you see me and want to know wtf I am talking about, just ask, me show.

Cheers

PS Thanks to Rookie for stopping by and talking about an hour or so to figure this all out.

Try wiring your front LED's into the stock side marker harness, it should be a two wire harness instead of three wire.

This is true, the side marker is a two wire harness. Though, I'm saving the side marker for something special!

I could "make" my own three wire front led, and that would entail buying a bunch of yellow led's and making my own circuit board, thus fooling the wiring gods into thinking there is a two filament bulb attached. But that would entail quite a bit of work+time+money. Of which, I'm short on all three.

Wire your front turn signals and your "special" side markers to the same existing side marker harness. The only downside I see is the front a side signals will flash together instead of alternating.

Seen the new "Jeep Style" surface mount rear leds?

Purty, pricey, stock looking goodness. Now with the ability to not melt kicked up snow in the winter!
