shaft seal - which side toward the oil??

Re: 7 wire turn signal switch problems?

i discovered that an EL-13 flasher uses a design much like tom's, altho it does require a load of at least one bulb to operate. unless your switch unit grounds the coil as does tom's. at least that...

Re: 7 wire turn signal switch problems?
