My turn signal return does not work, so I put in a tiny Radio Shack buzzer in
parallel across the terminals of the flasher can. This worked fine for a month
or so, with the buzzer sounding when the flasher was open, and quiet when the
flasher was closed (no potential). Then the flasher stopped opening, and
several new flasher cans lasted shorter intervals, one of them only one day. I
have determined that the current/voltage is enough to power the flasher alone
or the buzzer alone, but not both. With the buzzer attached, the flasher does
not heat enough to open, and the buzzer does not get enough current to make
noise.
I really don't understand how a buzzer 1/2" in diameter with really fine wires
can steal enough power to prevent the flasher from heating. I measure 13v at
the can. Any thoughts?
