I looked under the dash and do not see where the flasher mounts .Do I need to remove a gauge to access where this installs ?

Just did a quick test and the front and rear turn signals all blink but the indicator on the tach does not . I believe this is why the new flasher is needed .

Ron, you are correct on the indicator not flashing with LEDs and the OEM flasher relay. This is a safety feature designed to let the driver know that an external turnsignal bulb is burned out. ie., the indicator does not light up. LEDs look like a burned bulb drawing very little current. EP26 is configured to drive the indicator any time flashing occurs. EP26 is LED-compatible and is OK with standard bulbs. Not sure why you had an issue with EP26. It should still be ok. I can send another replacement if you think this one is damaged. Weird because EP26 is pin-compatible with the OEM flasher and should behave the same. As far as cleaning sockets, contact cleaner is ok to use but doesn't do much to remove oxidation. To remove oxidation I suggest using a tiny screwdriver to scrape the power buttons in the sockets. Just be careful to not press hard on the power buttons. |
