Flasher ? for 2001 up/Led Taillights
Intergate 12 February 2005 20:56:07
	I am going to convert my taillights to the LED round Flush mount. I have read many articles on what needs to be done but all were done on pre 2001 TJ's. The problem will be the flasher will need to be changed cause it will flash to fast. All the mods I have seen to solve the problem were done on the pre 2001 Flasher. They changed in 2001. I have a 2004 TJ Any body done this on a 2001 or newer and solved the problem? Thanks, Tim -- Tim [____] (OIIIIIIO)

	That RC network flasher was actually a second-generation flasher. Flashers truly from the 'olden days' actually used a bi-metalic piece of metal that flexed when it got hot from current passing through it. Then as it flexed upward from getting hot and broke the electrical connection, it would then cool back off again and re-make the electrical connection, only to get hot again and once again break the circuit. Cool design that even made its own clicking noise that have to be electronically generated now. Oh, the bi-metalic thing worked by a sandwich of two dissimilar metals. The metal on one side heated faster than different kind of metal on the other side which caused it to bend. Cool invention actually.

	Jeff Strickland did pass the time by typing:> Gosh Jerry, you REALLY are older than dirt!> That kind of flasher makes the turn signal come on and stay on steady - not> flash- when a light at the other end of the car burns out. If the front> light burns out, the rear light won't blink because there isn't enough> current in the circuit to heat the bimetal parts inside the flasher. (only slightly older than dirt here) And as the bulbs corrode (draw more current) you get the superblinkystrobe effect. -- DougW
