SteveJ Posted October 14, 2021 Share #13 Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) That's what I was referring to in post #4. Now here's what I suggest. Get some round wire brushes like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bottle-Stainless-Bristle-PMD-Products/dp/B007S91ND4 or this: https://www.harborfreight.com/tube-brush-set-6-pc-61923.html Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Remove the fuses from the fusebox. Note what rating fuse goes where Run the wire brushes on the insides of the fuse holders. Use some canned air to blow out any dust. Replace the fuses. Replace the negative cable. Test. Corrosion in your fusebox can limit the available current in a circuit.

eastcoastz Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Thank you @SteveJ yeah you were definitely right with the analogy. I appreciate it. I have already cleaned the fuse box pretty well with a vinegar dunk, contact cleaner and brushes. My guess is maybe the contacts are dirty in the hazard switch which is causing the voltage to not be strong when it goes from the hazard switch to the flasher unit. Yes I know I should do it the right way and rebuild the hazard switch but is there harm in leaving a new 12v connection (with an in-line fuse) going to the flasher unit for now?

SteveJ Posted October 15, 2021 Share #15 Posted October 15, 2021 You can get a new connector for the flasher: https://vintageconnections.com/Products/Connectors Specifically https://vintageconnections.com/Products/Detail/141 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
