Fuckit, less than $20 parts, and very little labor. Works perfectly 👍

    Oh, you’re fun, you assume lots of things…

    Nothing about this truck makes sense, I’m literally playing it by ear.

    Fuck, it’s missing the passenger side dashboard…

    This is a redneck nightmare, but still runs pretty nicely…

      Nothing in my post is an assumption, but this is: Your driving that turd on the streets and its breaking down, thats why I think you need you hazards. I’ll also assume you are in over you’re head and that you’re cheap (or broke).

        Seriously, no reason to shame anyone over this. We are all struggling in different ways. If this is what makes it work, so be it. Not like they are defeating their airbags or some safety issue.

          You’re correct about the shaming, it was not my intent, but I’m sorry if that happened.

          That being said, worst case scenario with this setup is the ground fault failure that is not fused and continues to increase in temperature until a fire starts on the road. Second is the vehicle simply shutting down due to loss of power while driving.

            I appreciate your concern.

            There is absolutely no way this can short out, all wires and clips are fully insulated, and the module itself is completely surrounded by plastic.

            Whenever I manage to figure out where the OG flasher module is, I can very easily pull my redneck fix out and put a 15 amp fuse back in.

            But this works for now…

        That’s fine, you’re entitled to your words.

        The truck was a gift, I had to figure out how to crank it up first.

        Sadly there are no hazard lights, the previous brain damaged owner jammed a screwdriver down in the steering column and fucked all that up.

        This is Mississippi homie, we’re good here, I got it roadworthy…
