I found the OG flasher module today. Guess where it is…
It’s like 2 inches to the left from the not one but three 12 volt sockets under the dash and radio by the ashtray area.
Yeah, as much as I loathe AI, the fella that asked Google Gemini actually found me a correct answer as to the location of the part. And people gave the fella shit. 😞
With that now located, I still trust my own fix over the OG module sitting a mere inch or two by three hot 12V sockets. At least my fix is like a foot away from any hot or ground points. GMC original flasher is like less than 2 inches away from hot or ground. Sad, my fix is actually safer than their original design.
Yeah. There’s a lot of crazy design through the ages. Wasn’t meaning to say your repair was too far out there, I’ve done similar as temp fixes. It’s as the old adage goes though, regulations are written in blood. Never hurts being overly cautious, and a fuse is cheap compared to a small electrical fire.
Yes, you are correct on all accounts of your words…
If you had any idea how the windshield wipers worked, you really wouldn’t worry much…
Please at least put an inline fuse there or something 😭
Why does everyone seem to assume that every circuit is gonna outright short out?
Fuck, it had a 30 amp fuse in it, when it only called for a 15 amp. At least my bodge fix is literally a circuit breaker.
Because not assuming that makes fires occasionally.
