My dad's blinkers quit working on his 83' Interstate 1100. When you turn on the switch, the marker light comes on, but doesn't blink.

So we believe it's the relay. The question I have is, what relays will interchange?

His has three wires coming out of it, I see some that have a push in connector. Will these interchange if wired correctly.

Thanks

Had the same problem with my83 GL1100 Aspencade. Replaced the flasherwith one from NAPA. It has the 3 posts coming out of it, and works perfectly.



Had to take the 3 female ends out of that stock plastic housing (you can push a small nail into the front side to depress the snap and pull the wire out the back side).



I can't recall the model number of the flasher, but I'll see if I can find it. It was the only 3 post one there though, and was only $14 !!!

Here we go -- Tridon Stant EP 28



Also, if you search EP 28 on the site'sforum search, you can see other posts (like ones mentioning this flasher should work for LED lights too).



Cheers

You don't have to use a 3 pin flasher. A 2 pin works just as well, just leave off the green wire. Get the electronic one, it's less than $10.

Sounds like a 2 pin has worked then. Here's the site where I found the original info when changing mine out: linkIt has a photo as well.



Whatever you go with, I'd recommend pushing those connecters out of the plastic housing and taking a look before going shopping. They might be smaller than you think, and a lot of flashers have bigger pins/posts than the OEM connectors.

Replace it with a 552 heavy duty one if pulling a trailer. It is located in the false tank on the left hand side towards the front.
