Damn, it happened again today. It happens when I drive the car for a little while. The blinkers just come on and don't blink. If I turn the pot to the fastest speed, they twinkle and I hear the flasher buggin out. After I parked the car for about 5 minutes they started working perfectly. I went to Autozone and bought the Tridon electronic replacement flasher for my car and I'm gonna try to modify it the same way. Unless you can figure out whats wrong with my stock one. Anyway, the Tridon flasher is different inside. I dont know which resistor to de-solder. Theres only 2 though. Can I damage anything by just using trial and error? Thanks again. I hope I'm not bothering you.

BTW, the Tridon has 3 resistors. 2 side by side in the middle, and one between the cap and chip. Can I send you a pic of it? Maybe you'll now what to do. Thanks!

1 - red, orange, green white (between cap and chip)
2 - brown, green, red, gold (side by side, towards center)
3 - light brown, dark brown, gold (side by side, towards outside)

LOL. The Tridon flasher is the same as the first flasher on your webpage. I got it working again. Lets see how this one holds up.
