Thanks!
I will pick up another EF32RLNP flasher for the 2nd "can".
I do have an inline fuse also just like the stock setup.
I noticed from one of the threads posted that this was on my To Do List since 2012..... Yikes

I don't even want to think about all the to do things I haven't got to.

Take a look at this.

Well not knowing that I needed 2 cans , I just randomly added the e/flasher to the emergency flasher circuit, which does flash and makes an audible click. So that works!
Now just waiting on arrival of 2nd e/flasher for replacing the turn signal flasher can and all should work.....

The two cans should be side by side on the side of the driver foot well. There is a bracket to screw them to.

Yes, I have worked with them before when I had to replace the regular flashers, placing them inside the cans. Also when 1 or the other stopped working before, sometimes just the grounding screw and mounting area needed to be cleaned for a good ground .
I am real happy with the brake lights, definitely brighter.
Linda

Turn signals fixed. Added e/flasher #2 and everything works. I drilled a hole in the top of the can for the ground wire to go thru. Cans had to be widened a bit for the flasher to fit in.
Dash turn signal lights seem brighter..
Same part as Ray mentioned

Ok here is my issue now. I originaly was trying to resolve an issue with no right side blinkers. I replaced both flashers with LED’s and also replaced all front and rear bulbs with LED’s.
Now here is my Problem:
When headlights off, only the front right doesn’t blink.
When headlights on, only the rear right doesn’t blink.

Any suggestions?

Wiring issue. If the lights blink at all, you've proven they're capable of doing so.
I'd suspect wiring at the turn signal switch but only guessing.

Dan

Which flasher can did you get? Some have polarity issues but don't know if that could be a factor here.
Linda

I got 2 of the same as Linda

I used the same flashers (from CEC) with 1157 bulbs all around. I wired one of the flashers backwards initially, swapped the leads and they work correctly. Going to (much) brighter LED tail/stop/running lamps is a really good safety thing IMO (including daytime)...should have done this earlier.

I believe that I need to replace the flasher can(s) on my 67 1/2 1600.Turn signals were working fine until I recently discovered the FF switch perviously unnoticed under the dash and pulled the switch out to test function of the four way flashers. They did not function. Now the turn signals no longer work. Being in a very small town in central Baja Mexico, auto parts are not as avaliable as in the states. We do have an AuotZone store nearby. Can I just purchase generic flasher cans or do I need something more specific to my car?

It sounds like your switch is the culprit. I would operate the switch several times and try it again. That will help burnish the contacts and hopefully it will start working again

spl310, you were absolutely correct. Thanks for the suggestion and the simple fix. There's no telling how long its been since that switch was used.Now I no longer have to worry about replacing the switch or the flasher cans. You da man!
