What they did show you is, most likely, a 555 timer; I don't remember what they call it there, but I know where to look for them so I helped myself. Well, used to know. They have eliminated a lot of items. An electronic flasher would, in my estimation, be a no load flasher... But I am not absolutely certain. Stanley

I tried auto parts store and they had never heard of it. They did have electronic flashers so for $13 I bought one of them and tried it. The turn signals don't light up at all with that unit. I went to radio shack in search of a 555 timer circuit, again unheard of. One clerk did show me a unit about half the size of a postage stamp with tiny prongs coming out of it - about 6 or 8 of them but there was no way that could substitute as a flasher unit. So, is an electronic flasher the same as a no load flasher and if so, what does it mean that it didn't work?
