It's tomorrow

 

[beags86]

Yeah, it sure is. Was raining pretty well after work, after I ran a few errands, and i didnt want to get wet since the stepper sits out. I didn't even bother... poor I know. Best I got though.

 

[Justin V]

That's a legit answer.

 

[beags86]

Crap, nothing is an easy answer for me. Although, now when I press on the brakes, and turn on the turn signal on the brake light goes off, which is more then I can say before. Although i am also not sure thats a good thing.

Do you have the packaging from the new flasher? maybe take a pic of it and post it up

 

[beags86]

Yes, I do, it's sitting on the seat.

But it say on the packaging.
Works with LEDs and incandescent light bulbs....

I am just trying to remember all that I dealt with...

I know that the tail light circuit is separate from the stop/turn circuit.

Also the front side marker and front turn alternate with the turn signal activated.
I do not remember if this is only when the headlights are on or not. I do remember having issues because of this alternating effect. I had to eliminate the front side marker from the turn signal side of things and wire it strictly as a parking/clearance style lamp.

I'm being so stupid.

When I get home (if I remember) I'll just pull my flasher out and take pictures of it. Judging by the packaging of yours I think the flasher is still the wrong one.

 

[beags86]

Probably. I had the guys at the counter look up an electronic flasher for a 76 Chevy. This is what they gave me.

 

[beags86]

You home?

 

[brans87]

You trust the counter person really?????????

 

[beags86]

In this case, yes. I looked at the screen with them, and the packaging clearly states that it works with LEDS. The screen listed it as electronic, as they had thermal ones as well.
Not sure what else I can do?

 

[brans87]

pray like hell!

 

[beags86]

Not all counter guys are idiots, just most of them.

 

[beags86]

I guess for 10 bucks I can take it back and try a different one from a different store... Losing interest as this truck will only be on the road for about two more weeks.... It will go in storage after Turkey day....

 

[brans87]

oh the weather thing!

 

[Justin V]

Mine is a Napa part # LF12

 

[Justin V]

Focus on the "electronic" and "heavy duty" if you don't like Napa...

And it is this one in the fuse panel
