Turn Signals on 2010D

[California]

I think there is a better flasher module available for variable loads such as a truck that sometimes has a trailer. This second one will flash consistently regardless of load. An auto parts counterman should be able to find what you need.

I installed small switch on jump wire and now when the switch is on I have hazards and when is off I have a turn signal. Love it !!!!

Just got done with that job. On mine it turned out to be the ground. You say one light is briter than the other ?? With a ohm meter look at the ground to the light fixture base on both sides. Should be a 0 ohms. Another way to test without a meter is to touch a wire from the base of each fixture to a ground on the engine, if it works properly with the wires just touching the base of each fixture, you got a ground problem. You see more of this in tractors than cars, you are always in the dirt. Turned out the joints between the pannels on the fenders had lost their ground. If this doesn't work, then you have a wire, switch, or fuse problem. Note here that I have a VN recon. I've noticed that there are many joints in the wireing harness that are just wraped together with tape over the joint. Over time I've gone through and soldered every joint or added a butt splice. Made the whole setup more reliable. I'm another one that took the turn signals and jumpered the wires together, turned them into flashers, don't think there is a need for turn sig in the U.S.

Sorry been out of the loop for a few days so just checking back in this morning. I'm going to add some guages to the tractor so when I'm at the auto parts store I'll check into the flasher. Also, I'll check the ground but before I tied the two together both lights blinked bright and long but as soon as they were paired up they got weak so it led me to believe it was the flasher. I seem to recall a buddy of mine had one for his pickup given to him by the dealer for towing.

As a rule of thumb if they flash dim, it is a wiring issue. If they flash fast, it is an economy flasher issue (and needs a heavy duty one).

You need a hd flasher. They should be bright again once they are flashing at the normal rate.

I did the tie wires together so I have hazards also but one time later I had a fender that wasn't grounded very well and found one lite was intermittent. Oh any flasher should work you are only dealing with 2 bulbs Id say a standard one would be ok just being new is probably the fix. fwtw

I took a couple star washers and installed them on one of the fender to floorboard bolts and its been good ever since. hth

funny:laughing: that everyone mentions turn signals. I have always had hazards. Maybe they were wired as hazards b-4 I got it

I should have done it years ago, funny, one time I was helping a buddy bush hog some of his fathers farm and to get from one field to another we had to drive down the hardball so I put my turn signal on (still no traffic) but wondered why they didn;t have hazards to begin with.

I thought that was the dumbest thing I ever saw when I got my tractor I guess in Japan in the rice paddy's they have a real traffic problem? :laughing:
