    Burning out directional flasher module?

    This fixed my blinker issue. Still working on break lights. I have narrowed it down to either the brake switch itself or the linkage. Does anyone know if the same year (2001) Hummer break switch is compatible? It is like $7 at AutoZone...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    Well, I replaced the incandescent bulb because it already wasn't working correctly... First thing I did was replace the blinker lever switch, which fixed nothing. Then I replaced the directional flasher module - which fixed everything, until it stopped working again after a day. THEN I replaced...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    Yes, in the turn signal unit - the light that flashes to let you know you blinker is on. It currently just stays lit instead of blinking when turn signal is activated. I SWEAR I read the opposite - that there was an issue unless you put an LED bulb in there. I may just bite the bullet and go...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    So, Kascar has an "aftermarket" flasher unit for like $70 and one for LEDs going for over $300. Why in the hell would anyone want LED blinkers that bad, lol? What is your opinion of just replacing all the LEDs (other than headlights, those are great) with incandescant? Any "common wisdom"...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    Previous owner replaced most bulbs with LED. I read where iridescent bulb in 3-way switch can cause issues, so I replaced it with LED as well. Again, is the only way to tell the quality of a part from the vendor you purchase it from? That seems crazy. I thought Chinese parts had to be...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    Considering signal lights and brakes worked initially when I replaced the directional flasher module, and I have a NEW three-lever switch I am guessing it is not the brake light switch but the module itself or something leading to module. As for the generator, it currently is not feeding power...

    Burning out directional flasher module?

    Good idea - thanks! Getting a crash course in reading diagrams and electrical trouble shooting! Out of curiosity, anyone ever cracked one of these things open to see what is failing? I wonder how hard they are to repair... At $60+ a pop, it would be worth it.

    Thanks! This unit was purchased from Eric's Military Surplus. Is there a way to tell?

    M1097A2. No brake lights, no blinker. Replaced blinker control arm - nada. Replace directional flasher module - everything works... for like an hour. Now back to nada. Any ideas?
