sokanxx Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you are trying to use the Clear Alternatives Flasher thats your problem! I blew fuses all afternoon trying to figure out what was wrong. Finally I just put the stock flasher back in and it worked (it blinked really fast) but no blwon fuses. I took the Clear Alternatives Flasher, down to Napa and told em i wanted a Flasher with the same resistance as the CA. They sold me a new "heavy duty" flasher, I pluged it ini and BINGO the intigrated LEDS blinked at a normal pace and didn't blow the fuse. So in short get rid of the Clear Alternative Flasher its crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99Birdman Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Might want to try this one. They stock an item specifically for the XX and should be plug and play. Variable rate flasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRBob Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Get a 2 wire non-load dependent flasher from your local auto parts store. I tried working out a 3 wire one (we have 3 wires) and never got it to work. I just left one wire off (forgot which) and it works 100%.

Variable rate flasher Thanks for the link! I just ordered one. I'll go ahead and be the guinne pig and see if it really is plug and play. Been wanting to add LED rear turnsignals to my LED brake lights for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaminWarrior Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Is there a wiring diag I can get of someone..??..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 This one works and IS plug and play. Standard Flasher Item: ELFR-1 MSRP: $24.99 Price: $19.95 At: http://www.customdynamics.com/trick_flashe...le_Rate_Flasher When I opened the box I was VERY skeptical, only used 2 wires but it plugged right in and works. All I've got to do now is see how to mount it. (I'm thinking zip tie to relay bracket) Very strange, how you get used to that clicking of the factory one. This one is dead silent. Signals flash, but no noise. Too bad I didn't get my LED bulbs yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
