All other electronics work fine with the exception of I have replaced the radiator 5 times in 2 years with a current charge building up and burning a hole thru the radiators. Thought we had fixed that problem, but maybe these 2 are related? I did check last week with a voltage meter and it seems that the turn signal bulb showed a much higher number than the tail light and back up bulb. I do not remember the reading, but wouldn't that indicate a short if too much voltage is coming thru and burning up the board?
look at the wires running to lights and see if one got melted to another one? only other thing i no to do is try to make sure it's got good ground or replace bulbs and is water getting in there? also you might try another flasher that should atleast have 2.
