I have been trying to find a replacement blinker flasher for a 75 mav. The part number I have is for a Motorcraft SF 224, but I get is an emenergy flasher 2 prong. What gives? The blinker is a 3 prong. Has anybody runs into this before? Have they stop making them?
Just so happens I had to replace mine this week. I saw 2-terminal and 3-terminal devices on the rack. All of them were what they now call "heavy duty". They'll blink if you add bulbs or even if bulbs burn out, just like the old hazard flashers. Used to be the turn signal flasher wouldn't flash if a bulb burned out, that way you knew there was a problem. Different part numbers related to how many bulbs were in your turn signal system. Four way emergency flashers worked no matter what, even if some bulbs were out. Just pick a flasher with the number of terminals you need and use it. You'll have to keep a check on the bulbs to make sure they are all working.
Ok I solved the problem. It turned out that the 3 prong flasher was the seat belt circuit. I started looking harder under the dash and the dam thing was buryed I didn't see. The turn signal flasher is a 2 prong which is typical flasher. After this I'm going to quite working on cars. Talk about getting kicked in the ass.
What what what??? Hang in there, buddy. When I get back to Bremerton (maybe March or April of 2004) we can chill... Yours, Atzy.
That will work just fine. I have been working on cars all my life learn as you go and sometimes you ten to forget everything you learned. Times like that I just what to sell all my cars and buy a horse if anything goes wrong with it I"ll just shoot it and get another one, but my wife keeps saying sure you will you love working on cars. NOT Oh well I'm geting to old on doing this. NOT
