Flashies no flashie

[wagonguy]

flashers/turn signal lights wouldnt come on today. worked fine yesterday,didnt do anything different. here's what I checked:
1. fuses- all good
2. headlight and running lights work in their 2 switch pos. flashers dont in any switch pos.
3.have power to the rear work/aux wire taps( no lights intalled off them) no power at hazard light bulb fixture;little run lights have power.
4. have power coming into light switch
5. can hear flasher clicking when switch turned on,but no lights.
did search on here,found little; some worked again when dried out, some were switch problem. any other ideas where else to look? is flasher sep unit on this model or built into turn signal switch? Greenie is 2305 tlb 156 hrs,

You can check to make sure you are getting a good ground.

You also might want to check the bulbs themselves. I ran one of my trucks high speed through the desert. When I got to work the next day one of my friends told me my turn signals and brake lights didn't work. After checking fuses, power, etc., the bright filiment had burt out leaving the dim filiment intact.

oops didnt list that. I checked both bulbs the running light in the 2305 is an actual seperate little bulb . they work but socket base for the large bulb (flasher) has no power to them when switch is on. thats why Im thinking either flasher unit or somewhere from flasher to light base is the problem.

warmer today so spent time with Greenie. got into wiring harness and apparently problem is the flasher relay unit itself. jumped terminals in plug to flasher and lights came on steady,so not a break in wiring from flasher to rear lights. ordered a new one, won't be in for week. So guess I cant go on street till get my flashers back to work

If you needed to go on the road you could use two jumper wires and hook a two pole automotive style flasher up temporary.

Your problem may be a diode in the turn signal wiring harness. I had the same problem.

you might want to check out this link. I appears to be a common problem with the 2305s

power runs tthru diode before going thru flasher itself? when I unplug flasher and jumped terminals in connector, I had 12v when light switch was turned on, then jumped from there to the terminal in connector to rear lights and they came on ,just not flashing since not running thru flasher. all other lights worked fine. if diode is bad would it allow power to wiring harness the way I jumped terminals in the connector that attaches to flasher unit?

steveb05 did you replace with a JD diode or something different from radto shack or other?

 

[Steveb05]

I used the JD replacement part. It was hard to find in the harness. They are covered with electrical tape at the point where the wires exit the main harness.
