There are a variety of flasher units on the market and they are not all universal. Some are made specifically for certain vehicles. It is important to check with the manufacturer to see if the flasher unit will work with your vehicle before making a purchase.
Yes, all LED turn signals need resistors. The resistors are used to limit the amount of current flowing through the LEDs so they don’t burn out.
No, you don't need a special flasher for LED turn signals. LED turn signals are compatible with standard incandescent bulbs.
If a turn signal is blinking too fast, it usually indicates that there is a problem with the bulb. The first thing to check is the bulbs themselves. Make sure they are properly seated in the socket and that the contacts are clean. Sometimes a loose connection can cause the turn signal to blink too fast. If the bulbs are fine, then the problem is likely with the turn signal relay. The relay controls the speed of the blinker. A faulty relay can cause the turn signal to blink too fast.

Update1/11/17- After writing this, I changed the faulty brake light switch that was the source of the odd behavior. I will round my rating up to 5 and give the item a solid 4.5 now. Even though it didn't fit the original clip, a tie-wrap made up for it simply.My 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara's LED hyper flash turn signal issue was fixed, which was a pleasant surprise.I just switched to LED lighting for everything. Particularly the turn signals were a complete non starter. They were so quickly flashing as to be unpleasant. There were several remedies for this.1) Revert to using incandescent bulbs (and associated higher battery load).2) Connect a resistor in series with each bulb (adds the load back to the circuit AND chops up my wiring)3) Purchase this replacement relay, which is claimed to repair everything and keep the LED lights' low load.Duh! simple decision! Replacement just took 15 minutes and used a flathead and phillips screwdriver. When driving a 2000 Wrangler, you must:1) Lower the tilt mechanism first, then remove the two screws holding down the lower plastic panel behind the steering column.2) Disengage the four screws holding a metal cover plate in place behind that one.Remove the outdated Factory relay. It is concealed under a horizontal wiring duct on the steering column's right side. The outdated relay has a groove where the clip positioned on the back panel can fit. Simply use a flat head screwdriver to pry it off and pop it off.4) Insert the new relay into the socket from where the old one was removed. This one won't be placed in the same bracket as the previous one. You can tie it around something or let it to hang. Back to the original mounting bracket, I tie-wrapped it. You could probably bend the bracket to put this back in, but you'd still need to tie wrap it (I don't think there would be a problem with simply leaving it hang loose, but I'm a rattling freak).5) Screw everything back together the same manner it was taken apart.Performance:The flash was undoubtedly perfectly slowed down by this relay. It does display an odd behavior when I activate the emergency flashers. The front passenger signal does not blink if the turn signal stalk is in the center or left turn position. All lights should flash as intended when the turn signal stalk is in the appropriate turn position. With the exception of the right turn position, which worked each time, I tried switching it between left, right, and center with erratic results. I'm not sure whether this will change, but I think it's a reasonable quirk to reduce battery load.The good news is that the signal clicking is only about half as loud as the stock relay. There is something about this car that has always irritated me. More justification to put up with the emergency flash quirk.I heartily endorse this product as a low-cost, convenient remedy for your LED Jeep conversion. Cost is excellent. A 2000 Wrangler TJ exact 4 pin refit.

fantastic little gadget Even though my 1986 Honda Shadow VT500 has a three wire system, there are only two wires required, and the third wire serves as a ground, so this flasher is electronic and does not require a ground, so it worked perfectly. I have led signals from the front and rear, and they now flash correctly and won't burn out from flashing so quickly with the hyper flash effect. I rode for two hours today and it withstood the heat of the engine with no issues at all. For the price, it can't be topped.

It blinks too quickly on a vintage automobile with two 1157 bulbs in each corner. Close, but not quite as quickly as it would be without a light. The rest is fine. Further research reveals that the 224 flasher is designed for two bulbs, while the 550 is for three-bulb installations. 4 out of 5 ratings are given because it's unclear how many bulbs this is designed for.

$10.00 for 2 items! Once you know which wire to cut, installation is simple — consult your repair manual! These are the units I bought for my two motorcycles. One was given to me before by a friend who had one of his. It does what it promises and was very simple to install. Because I own another motorcycle, I decided to buy the two-pack and keep the spare as a backup.The pattern is as follows: the brake light turns on after a slower, strobe-like flash when the brake is applied. The Signal Dynamic "Back-Off Brake Light Modulators," which I've always used, are great when they function. The issue I've encountered with them is that during installation, if the power contacts ANY area of the bike, the entire unit will short out. And at $40 each, that can add up. Additionally, the "Back-Off" features a different blinking pattern in which it blinks four times, then stays steady for one, then blinks four times, etc.If you want a consistent blinking, I'd propose choosing a different module or brand because this one accomplishes what I said it would do above. But this is difficult to beat at $5 per unit!***Confirm that your lights are LED bulbs! They were missing from my 2007 Ninja and needed to be replaced. Without them, it wouldn't work.

After switching to LED tail lights, I experienced the hyperflash (sounds like an AC/DC song) problem. When the front turn bulbs need to be replaced, my first inclination was to acquire the resistors and solder one into each tail light. I wasn't looking forward to having to do that. As I was researching evaluations of various resistors, I came across one that suggested that the flasher be changed to cure the entire problem.I discovered this and read the Otter review, which explained how to swap the flasher housing with the Ford model that was already in my truck. ordered it right away.I wanted to switch out the housings, so the installation only took me about 20 minutes. If I had just zip-tied the replacement unit in place, it would have taken ten minutes.I have regular incandescent bulbs for the front turn signals and running lights and LEDs for the rear turn, brake, and running lights. I can vouch for the fact that this device fixes the hyperflash issue and restores the usual cadence of your turn signal. I'm overjoyed that I didn't have to sever the electrical harness at the truck's four corners. What I needed was this flasher. I applaud "The Otter."

An aftermarket Baja Designs fender taillight is on my dual sport. Three wires are used by the tail light for the ground, brake light, and taillight. The tail light would run through the flash sequence when I turned on the ignition and connected the Purishion (GS-100A) flash controller, but the brake would remain inactive after that. I attempted all possible wiring connections, but to no avail. Even so, I wondered whether I hadn't correctly located the brake and taillight wires.I took the first light apart to learn how it worked after one of its four led clusters failed, so I'm now using a second one. The same LED circuit receives more current when the brake is applied twice, increasing the brightness of the LEDs (running brake). The fact that my motorbike has a single circuit led me to believe that when the engine was turned on, the running light current was redirected into the flash controller, which triggered the initial flash sequence and never deactivated to light the brake or allow a further flash sequence. This issue can be resolved by adding a diode to the flash controller's red-out wire to stop backflow.There were no instructions provided. If there had been, including troubleshooting, that would have been excellent. Last but not least, the design would have worked for me right out of the box if a diode had been added. I was fortunate to have a spare diode on hand.- I've attached images of my tail light, the PCB, and a circuit trace overlay from the original light in case it's helpful. Where the original leads were attached is indicated by "Brake," "Tail," and "Ground."

First of all, it functions exactly as it should. This flasher is a bit bigger than the 522 flasher it replaced. both in height and diameter. I would assume that the height is a half-inch taller and the circumference is significantly broader. All that was needed was a quick swap that took one minute to complete. Due to a few problems with my prior system, I decided to purchase this specific flasher, and I also upgraded my old system's rear lights to LEDs.The original flasher system, even with incandescent bulbs, had problems when the voltage fell, and flashing occasionally came to a stop. That was perfectly handled by this. You may buy this flasher in place of a ton of resistors to load the system, which doesn't really make any sense to me anyhow, since it is also compatible with LED lights. Why use a low power consumption LED and then use a resistor to increase it?The fact that this flasher is louder than the stock flasher is a plus for me, however it might not be for you. My 1967 Chevelle is not quiet, and neither is my car. The new flasher seems to be audible to me, but the old one I could never hear. Naturally, it will depend on the surroundings and outside noise, but when the car was idling in the garage, I could hear it.The bad, which might just be me, is now. This review receives five stars if you don't care about it. It seems to flash a little too quickly to me. My previous lights flashed once per second, but this seems to be happening roughly twice as quickly. Although I prefer the slower flashes, I'll just have to get used to it since I need it for the LEDs.I've included a video so you can see how quickly the flash occurs as well as hear the sound coming from my idling engine.The four stars are a result of the size and the flashing's rapidity.
The indicator flasher is an important part of the electrical system in a car. It is what makes the turn signal lights flash. Without it, the turn signal lights would just stay on solid, which could be confusing to other drivers. To test the indicator flasher, you will need a test light. First, find the wire that goes to the indicator flasher. It will usually be a green wire. Once you have found the wire, touch the test light to the wire. If the test light comes on, then the indicator flasher is working. If the test light
When the turn signal is activated, the flasher unit receives power from the turn signal switch and sends it to the turn signal bulbs. The flasher unit contains a heating element and a bimetallic strip. The heating element is connected in series with the turn signal bulbs. When the flasher unit is first turned on, the heating element is cold and has a low resistance. This allows a large amount of current to flow through the heating element and the turn signal bulbs, causing them to light. As the heating element heats up, its resistance increases. This reduces the amount of
How much does a flasher cost? The cost of a flasher can vary depending on the type of flasher and the features that it offers. Some flashers can be as low as $20 while others can cost upwards of $100. The type of flasher that you need will depend on the severity of your problem and the type of vehicle that you have.
There are a few reasons why turn signals may stop working. A blown fuse, a burnt out bulb, or a broken wire may be the culprit. Sometimes, the turn signal switch itself may need to be replaced.
A turn signal flasher goes bad when the mechanism inside the flasher that controls the blinking of the turn signal lights wears out. When this happens, the turn signal lights will either not blink at all, or they will blink very rapidly.
