Technical styleline flasher prob

hey guys, i converted my 49 to 12v, got rid of numberplate lights, an fitted caddy rears where numberplate lights was,wiring them into original rears, they flash too fast, ideas plz?

 

need a flasher can that can handle more lights . more lights more amp draw .

 

its got 1 thats 40/46 wts

 

Use a flasher for 4 way flashers, they will handle the load.

 

can you explain that plz? i dont understand,do you mean for hazards?

 

whats the part number on the back of the can ?

try a number 570 flasher can

 

On most cars when a light burns out the flash rate increases (less load). I'm surprised that yours is going faster with increased load. Electronic flashers are supposed to be non-load dependent but I don't know how much load they can handle. Might be worth looking into.

 

exactly, thats what i cant work out , i even tried adding an extra light inside trunk to see if it made diffrence, none

 

on the semis up to 20 on some of the Grotes , my DD pick up I use a Grote 44540 electric/mechanical ( 570) and it flashes all 10 lights on the truck and trailer with no problems . and when I unhook the trailer the speed stays the same so no changing it out .

 

If it had one back light on each side before, and has two on each side now and flashes faster, then it probably has a thermal flasher. They work by getting hot, the heat makes the bimetallic strip "pop" off. If the load increases, they heat faster, so it will flash faster.

Try a different flasher can.

 

shes sorted now guys, i fitted a flasher that was twice the watts, thanx for your help,
