    Replacement for 3 tab flasher relay on 1100G?

    Seems the 3 tab relay does not flash anymore. Switch works and lights are on, but no flashing.
    I'm having to use the thumb switch to manually flash turn signals on every corner.
    Can anybody suggest a fix?

    Last time I had to deal with a system like this ( self canceling ) I wired in a normal flasher and by-passed the control unit which is most likely the culprit.







    #9 and #10 in the lower right corner when turned correctly.

      Me too. Got a generic flasher and ditched the controller.
      It's not a fix, granted, but at least it flashes reliably.
      Lots of things going on exiting a turn and having to manually cancel just adds to the workload.
      I am guilty of forgetting it.
      My new ride is a lot younger and it does not have auto cancel?
      Was it just a solution in search of a problem?
