4 pole flasher to three pole? Help Speedy Jim!

'70 WHAT?? Bus? Loss of the flasher should not affect the brake lights; that's controlled by the monster turn signal switch.

Or........bad fuse?

More info.

Ah, sorry, my mistake. '70 bug. I checked the fuses, they SEEM okay, I'll check again. The reason I suspect the flasher is that before it went out (or this problem started, that is) it would flash quickly and also click when I turned on the ignition. Is there a way to convert the flasher? Where can I find the info on it?

If the flasher has nothing to do with the brake lights, should I look at the brake light switch? How do I check that? The tail lights DO work. Ah, the joys of 35 year old cars, but at least Big Brother doesn't know where I am...

TIA!

'70 Bug, turn signal AND flasher have nothing to do with brake lights. Check fuse first. Even if it looks good, replace AND clean the holder.

There are *two* stop light switches on the M/C. Both could be bad or the connectors corroded. The wiring is on my web site.

You can use a 3-term flasher in place of the 4-term. Only diff is the skinny Blu wire from the signal lamp goes to the 49a terminal along with the Blk/Grn/Wh. I think that's on my site also.

Check the turn signals again. They will flash rapidly if one bulb is burned out OR maybe if a fuse has poor contact.
