Turn signal flasher
This may seem elementary but I need some help. I am making up some turn signals. All seemed to be going good until I got to the flasher. It is a three prong flasher. There is a "P" at the 12 o'clock position. A "L" at the 3 o'clock position and a "X" at the 9 o'clock position, What wire is suppose to go to each letter. There are no clues on the can.. I tried a picture but the markings are too faint to read.
Thanks |

Tom
X is where voltage is applied L. Goes to turn signal switch P is for pilot light on turn signal switch if provided. If you google 3 post flasher there are a few diagrams. Hope this helps, Tom |

Re: Turn signal flasher
If I remember X goes to fused power L goes to load (the switch) and P is pilot light on the switch or on the dash. Try that.....sam

Re: Turn signal flasher
Here are a couple of diagrams. I notice one diagram has the flasher as the power source for the indicator and the other one has the flasher as the ground for the indicator.

Re: Turn signal flasher
Also make sure the turn signal bulbs are large enough to make the flasher operate.

Re: Turn signal flasher
Maybe I need to switch to a three prong flasher and put a light in. I’ve been tooling around in my AV8 and thinking my signals were working, but tonight another car and I were both making lefts on a green light opposite each other. He seemed hesitant so when I stopped, I checked my signals and sure enough, it quit working.

Re: Turn signal flasher
On the subject of turn signals. Anyone know of a loud "clicker" to use to indicate signals are working. The little "beeper" is annoying as Chebbys"
