    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    Yes. Although all my civvy trailers have LEDs. I think this is just what you get with cheap Chinese stuff. I doubt it's a load issue.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    My original EG22 that I installed in 2015 died at the rally last week. So I got about 4 years and 8 months. Not sure on mileage, but I don't drive the truck much. Metal box had no moisture in it or evidence of having had moisture in it.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    I don't have a link for the harness I bought, because I got it from Napa but I suspect this one will work: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/TWR3032BX I have seen this work on a truck that had rear LEDs, incandescent fronts. That's my only LED experience.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    I don't think so. I think when i converted to this box from the plastic that I tried to move the extra flasher into it and it wouldn't fit. The Stig (who I got the part # for this box from) used this one because the bolt holes allowed it to bolt to the vehicle using the factory holes.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    I suspect you mean an EG22 but yes. You can simply cut off your cannon connector, ignore the ground wire and crimp spade connectors onto the existing wires, if that's how you want to roll.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    So, I have to post an update. After 3 years on the truck, one of the plastic mounting tabs on the box broke. Now, this may be my fault, as I tend to pull the box off and use it to test customer vehicles before I build another relay. So maybe that had something to do with it............ But...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    He had PM'd me and we spoke offline. He told what the conclusion was but I can't remember now. I think he ended up using a stock flasher relay. EDIT: went back and looked at my PM's. He said he couldn't get it to work and ended up buying a current replacement m-series relay. Not sure what...

    It makes me really happy to be able to give something back to the community. I'm glad this is something that has helped some of you out.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    Thanks. I am still running on the original EG22 relay I installed at the time of doing this. I have inspected it a couple times and one time, there was some condensation in the plastic housing. I removed the cap that I had installed and put a downward facing pipe on it so it could breath...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    I was wrong. It wasn't the blinkers not blinking, it was the indicator light on the turn signal switch not illuminating when the blinkers were on. Poor grounding of the switch to the column. So I've had zero issues since installation and I'd say half the time the truck is driven it's with a...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    I've now had this upgrade on my truck for almost 6 months and it's awesome. The new Napa relay is so heavy duty that I can use my unit to test other trucks. I had one customer's truck that had a bad turn signal switch that smoked a new repro relay but mine survived with no issues (in this case...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    Took my first "trip" in the truck with the "clinto relay conversion" (rofl). Approximately 100 miles when we went to the BBQ Saturday with Andy3 and the guys. Pulling Dave's equipment trailer with my 24-12 GI adapter and going through a lot of traffic and a lot of turns, no problems...

    I'd love to have it so I can build one for my other truck, HQ41.

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    EG22 is a 24V flasher relay. I do not know if this will work with LEDs-thank you for bringing this up. I will edit the original post and add that disclaimer.

    Here are the Home Despot part #s so you can grab exactly what you need: And another schematic of the EG22 relay, in case my photoshopped version wasn't clear: The final version can be seen here: And can be seen installed on HQ43. You can see the pattern of the old unit in the paint on...

    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    So, everyone is familiar with the standard M-series flasher relay? 2 bolts, 3 pin cannon connector, attaches to the drivers side firewall or inner fender, depending on model. This one: How many of you realize that the current replacements are absolutely worthless trash? Well, they are...
