How does a left turn Flasher work on a car?
When you select either a left or right turn signal you electrically connect the flasher to the signal bulbs on the car. This completes the circuit, which allows current to flow through the resistance wire, causing it to heat the spring steel around which it is wrapped.
Where is the emergency flasher switch on a car?
Emergency (all bulbs) flasher switch (on cars later than 1965) The basic turn signal circuit starts at the flasher, not at the switch. Inside the assembly is an electrical contact that brings current into the flasher from the fuse panel. A piece of curved spring steel is attached to the electrical contact.
Where do I go to replace my Turn signal switch?
It depends on the type of car you drive and the auto repair shop you go to. Our mechanics are mobile, which means they don’t have the overhead that repair shops have. They provide you convenience by coming to your home or office. What is the Turn Signal Switch all about?

How to replace a 2 pronged Flasher in a Chevy?
Once you’re bulbs are 100% L.E.D. the relay will correct the timing on the blink sequence. Used to replace 2-pronged original flasher under dash on ’66 Chevy. No tools, fast plug and play installation. Ideal way to eliminate hyper-flash with LED bulbs for blinkers (no resistor kits required).
Why are my turn signals blinking so fast?
No worries—it’s an easy fix! LED lighting draws much less power and lasts way longer than standard incandescent lighting that comes stock with most vehicles. Although the reduced draw of LEDs has advantages, replacement of turn signal bulbs with LEDS will cause what is called hyperflashing.
