I searched on this but did not find anything.
Here is something I thought about and tested on my 75 TR6. It worked like a charm.**
LED lights do not draw much current. When you change for instance your rear bulbs to LED bulbs the standard thermal flasher does not get enough load to heat up and switch quickly. The remedy in some cases is to replece the thermal flasher with an electronic unit. On my 1993 GMC Jimmy I replaced the rear bulbs with LEDs and had to replace the flasher because the turn signals were too slow with the original flasher. The flasher I used was a Tridon EL12. It is advertised as an Electro/Mechanical heavy duty flasher. A perfect match for the LEDs and the occasional towing of a trailer where there are extra turn signal lights. It handled both situations.
I'm not trying to start a thread on LEDs and Flashers. You can find a zillion posts all over the internet already covering that subject.
The turn signals on my TR6 are slow slow slow. I don't have LED lights anywhere. All my bulbs are good but the blink rate is pathetic. I figured if the electronic flasher switched at a normal rate with LEDs so why not try it on the TR6.
I plugged the flasher wires into a Tridon EL12 flashed and it works like a charm. For the first time during my ownership, the turn signals are blinking like they should.
The flasher has 2 male spade terminals. One is marked X the other L. There is a note on the casing that the X leg must be fused. X is the positive leg.
**I haven't installed an inline fuse yet. I also haven't driven it with the head lights on yet. I may do that this weekend.
The flasher is round so it doesn't fit in the bracket where the OEM flashed mounts. But it is light enough that 2 sided tape will probably hold it in place. Velcro will definately hold it.
That's it. If anyone has comments or warnings please feel free to post. So far this appears to be a simple solution to a nagging problem.
If someone else already posted something about electronic flashers, sorry if I'm stealing your thunder.
