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

No, I want you to not be driving around with something that could cause power failures. If your blinkers don't work, you shouldn't be driving, period. Bodging them in a way that could be dangerous doesn't count.

And yes, I've had one car burst into flames in the middle of the road because of electrical issues caused by a bad bodge done by a mechanic. And it was precisely a bodge with the fuse. Don't mess with that stuff.

    Please explain to me how this could ever possibly cause a 'power failure'

    The whole goddamn circuit was already short-circuited. I just bodged in a flasher control module in the middle of an already shorted circuit.

    It works perfectly.

    It's not, the bulb is limiting the current. Until it stops limiting it. Then you have a fire

    The lights would burn out first if anything happens to go wrong.

    Everything working fine right now, minus the emergency flasher button, but that'll require a whole new steering column to fix the emergency flasher.

    It works, and keeps the cops off our ass...
