Here's an electronic flasher I made about 1995, which is independent of load, so it will flash at the same rate with no light connected or any load up to the rating of the relay contacts. I built this in anticipation of making a turn signal system some day for my A, but have since found the store had a 2 prong electronic flasher for $3. Fleet Farm had one, which I bought, but they never restocked the item. Anyway I have also seen the EF 32 listed on ebay for cheap, so there is no need to make you own. You can even find adjustable rate electronic flashers now for as low as $1. Electronic Flasher Schematic.jpgElectronic Flasher Schematic.jpg

We run 12 volts with LED tails and couldn't get the vendors' electronic flasher to pulse evenly; tried 2 with same result. Went to "normal" $4 flasher and all was well with good grounds all around including switch to column. Could the 6 volt set up have different req'ts? Great info. Tom.

This looks like the flasher I bought from Fleet Farm. I bench tested it, and it worked OK down to 6.1 volts, even though it's a 12 volt flasher.

by w.michaelI have a signal stat turn signal system. 6 volt, positive ground. I had previously added a beeper to the system that beeped each time the signal flashed. Everything worked well.
I had to change the flasher unit. The new flasher has three connectors just like the old flasher. I hooked up the three wires to the flasher the same way. Now the beeper beeps constantly whether the signals...-

by Standing ElkGot a question on a blinker relay. I have been looking high and low for a "heavy duty" 6 volt blinker relay for my 30 coupe. Mine is currently two prong and all I have been able to find are a "few" light duty ones that state they are only good for 2-3 bulbs, not 4. I need a heave duty relay that will work on 4 bulbs. I did find a 3 prong relay that should be heavy enough but am...

I finally found some 6 volt LED bulbs that really work with positive ground. A year ago I bought some form China that claimed to be good for + ground, but it was a lie. I bought these to try in the instrument panel in my Studebakers, which are also 6 volt positive ground cars. The put out a nice light, but unfortunately didn't work to light up the special glow in the dark gauges that Studebaker used...

If I install turn signals, I would like to have them somewhat hidden, so I've been looking for 6 volt red LEDs, and finally found some on ebay. I also bought identical amber LEDs from the same seller. This is a back burner project, so it may not get done anytime soon.

by Calvin NeelyAt the annual meet in Dearborn last year there was a parts vendor that was selling 6volt flashers for turn signals that had a tiny beeper built in. My lady friend bought one for her 31 that has turn signals and the new flasher works great. Now I would like to get a couple of them and don't know how to contact the vendor.

by AL in NYLooking on the internet for a Model T friend of mine who needs a low current 6 volt flasher and found one on Amazon. Looks like it's built using an internal relay, so it's not load dependent for flash rate.

by FixitphilI'm sure disappointed in the ($210) Logo Lite Kit turn signals that I purchased. I purchased the tail turn light that mounts to the Duo-Lamp LED bucket and it can hardly be seen by cars behind me. I have the front lights that are mounted on the bumpers but they are still not very bright. Just a point of interest.
I'm going to the type unless I can find an answer to my problem. I wanted the...-
