Possitve update : maybe

i decided to try the same flasher in the hazards. to my surprise the flasher started clicking (apariently have had my hazards on for years lol) and green indecaters flashing and all four hazards were flashing.

Again using
electronic flasher with polerity reverser installed and the ground wire grounded
does that mean everything is wired correctly?

ive never had a hazard flasher installed so i figured it would be a easy test?

That means that the led bulbs are wired correct. There is a chance that the polarity of the port on the fuse box for each flasher could e opposite. My aftermarket harness was. So you still need to confirm 12v to positive X blade on turn flasher point. If it is it has to be because you do not have enough load to trigger the flasher with turn (1 side) the flashers are wired different and thw fact that there is 4 makes a greater load hence the flash. As bad as you dont want to the only real check is to hook either a load resistor or bulb to the turn side of light housing wire and ground it to the frame . If it works you know its a load issue. You can either leave it that way or buy a different style flasher. If after the test you want to run it like that you will need to do both sides. But that kinda defeats the purpose of a led flasher.

Do you have the button on the steering column pushed in for the hazzards? If so then your blinkers want work. Well they shouldn't work.

Just in case any one else stumbles upon this thread. The top statement is not completely accurate there is a slight possibility the leds are wired backwards. We need a bit more info. Here is what I posted to OP.

*You say it blinked with hazards, but did you turn the headlights on? Because if the leds were wired backwards they would blink on hadards but stop when you turn on the headlights. A dead give away would be if you had them blinking on hazards and the front leds blinked but kinda dim . Then they would stop blinking and be bright when you pulled the headlights on. I did not think of that till after the post. Sorry

I just went out and looked at mine and tried them out. E flashers on turning the signals on made no difference. Appling the brake made them stop flashing though.

The fronts? If so thats strange caus mine dont. Front or rear😐

Oh duahhhhh you mean the rears stop flashing hazard when you apply brakes....

Correct everything goes solid dash lights and outside lights.

[Robznob11]

That is strange...mine do not do that. But as you know i have all custom made lights, i also run an aftermarket harness. Keep it clean on hazard side with no strap , and painless style with sttap on the turn side and i had to reverse polarity on it. It all works as a stock truck would. I also have halos wired on my park side. I do not have a dual ambe like you have. My halos are my park lights. And front blinkers only flash when turn signal or hazard. Probably the difference right there👍

FIXED

ok long story short my flasher set up as follows

THE HAZARDS FLASHER
a electronic flasher with polerity reverser installed (with ground wire grounded)

THE TURN SIGNAL FLASHER
a electronic no load "reverse polerity" flasher (no ground wire)
this is the original flasher i baught and tried but did not work.

THE PROBLEM =
becouse i did not have a hazard flasher i didn't realize my hazard button was set to on
of course the blinkers didn't blink. i just tested this theory and thats what it was.

You know sometimes my blonde hair makes me not think clearly lol.

Very cool sir! Glad you got it figured out.

Robznob11,
we got nrb's70gmc fixed up.

Just finished up. the flasher without the ground didn't make noise I'm anal so now both flashers match lol(two reverse polarity flashers with ground wires grounded)

In my defence I did mention I'd never had a hazard flasher installed. No one ever mentioned make sure your hazard button isn't on. Lol

I sure did fill like a ra-tard when I figured that out

[Andy4639]

That's what my post was for when I went out and checked mine. I had thought maybe this was it.

We have all been there. Don't feel bad it's just part of the game.
