TR2/3/3A TR3 Replacement Flasher

[MGTF1250Dave]

Aloha All,

In the past there has been discussions about currently available Flasher unit available from auto parts stores. I believe TR3 Driver suggest a specific "Heavy Duty" unit that worked best for the TR3. Does any one recall what three prong flasher to use? Mahalo.

What I suggested was an "electronic" Tridon EL13.

Or, I believe there is a simple modification that will make any 3-terminal flasher work. Find the ground wire that runs from the lamp holder for the turn signal indicator on the dash, disconnect it from the ground point on the dash, and connect it to the fuel gauge terminal with the green wire. I've tried this, it works.

I can't comment on anything specific to the TR3, but for a 3-wire flasher I also use the EL13. I don't know if the color codes apply to the TR3, but the picture in the link below shows how I have mine connected in the Mini.
