Hi, guys.
Having a problem with my emergency flashers. When I start the engine, both flashing green light emergency indicators at the top of the tach/speedo stay on constantly. Won't shut off. None of the exterior emergency lights are malfunctioning/staying on, in other words, they function as they should. The emergency brake has been released. The relay is new. Of course, the emergency switch is off. All turn signals and lights operate properly. I did notice with the emergency switch on, the speed of the flashing decreases; turn the switch off, and the speed increases again. If you have any insight, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your advice. John |

Is the new flasher an OEM replacement? What p/n is it? It sounds like you have an incorrect flasher installed. I agree with Rob-O that either the e-brake switch is not closed, or the master cylinder warning switch is tripped, or you have some leakage in those wires.
Does the brake light flash as well? However the e-brake or MC warning switch should not trigger the turnsignal indicators in the tach. |
