I was unaware that short circuits will also cause it... George Graves '86 GTV-6 3.0 'S' On Dec 15, 2010, at 8:45 AM, Richard C.

That could either happen through a bulb that has failed and shorted internally, or by a wiring problem (a wire rubs through and shorts to ground) or by an internal short in the flasher unit itself. If this only happens on one side, look for a bad bulb. If it happens on both sides, it's probably the flasher unit. > > > Rich Wagner > Montrose, CO, USA > '82 GTV6 -- > to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi > or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected] -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
