How does an electronic turn signal Flasher work?
How an electronic turn signal flasher works. Late model vehicles use an electronic flasher with no mechanical parts. The flasher measure the amount of current flowing to the turn signal bulbs. If the current draw is in the expected range, a solid state timing mechanism and a transistor turn power on and off to the turn signal bulbs.
What do you need to know about LED flashers?
What is an LED Flasher? An LED (-compatible) Flasher is a turn-signal or hazard flasher relay that works properly with LED turn-signal bulbs. Generally, a stock automotive Turn Signal (or Hazard) Flasher Relay does not work with LED Bulbs unless it was designed for that.
Can a car Flasher relay work with LED bulbs?
Generally, a stock automotive Turn Signal (or Hazard) Flasher Relay does not work with LED Bulbs unless it was designed for that. If you replace incandescent (regular) bulbs with LED Bulbs, you may notice one of two malfunctions: Either the lights will not flash at all, or they will flash fast/eratically, the latter is known as Hyperflashing.
What kind of Flasher does a late model car use?
These are called thermal flashers because they relay on a heater and a bi-metallic strip to operate. Late model vehicles use an electronic flasher with no mechanical parts. The flasher measure the amount of current flowing to the turn signal bulbs.
Where does the turn signal Flasher come from?
A simple turn signal circuit starts with the flasher, not the switch. Inside the circuit assembly is an electrical contact that carries the current into the flasher from the fuse panel.
