Cantedvalve 128 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 So amongst the variety of gifts my wonderful family got me was new solid state flashers. These buggers are direct replacements for the thermal ones... but no click. Now on hazard lights that is fine, but for turn signals I think I will want my click back. Anyone got any good ideas?

aslanefe 333 Report post Posted December 28, 2018 Use the solid state to power the flasher and also connect the thermal one (not connected to flasher) to same circuit so it makes your clicks. Or connect a buzzer powered by the solid state flasher. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of those can't be turned down adequately with resistors, but you may try that and damp the piezo with a dab of silicone. It'll take some experimentation.

For the thermal flasher to work, it would need to have a load and considering the wattage required (they are current sensitive) that would get messy fast, and if this is in parallel with the lights it wouldn't be in sync (noise wise) with the other flasher. Having it in parallel would also add amperage and you don't want that. Having the two flashers in series would give a chopped-up flash rate, so I can't envision how that would work well. Instead of messing around with all that, I think I would go back to the original flasher, or drive around like us old people with the flasher on because we can't hear it 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
