The $2 electronic flasher arrived today from Ebay/China, so I installed it today.
You'll also need 3 insulated female spade connectors and some light solid core wire.
First pull the relay/flasher module and slide the fusebox assembly off the metal retaining posts.
Find the light blue and orange/green wires - the're side by side. With a small jewellers screwdriver push through the small recess at the top of the connector pin for those wires and pull the pins out the back.
Cut a 3-4 inch length of wire and crimp it to each spade connector. Strip the other ends and bend them into a small U shape just long enough to fit the small spade connector from the original harness.
Slide the U sections into the harness connectors and tape them up. Heat shrink tubing would good too.
Here's an important part - making the electrical connections.
The blue wire goes to pin 49a - load +
The orange/green wire goes to pin 49 - power 12v
31 is ground. I connected that to a ring connector and attached it to the battery bracket screw. Any ground will do.
Reinstall the original flasher/relay module and push the connector assembly back on the metal posts. Put your new flasher beside it and you're done
Give it a test - if you did it right and the flasher isn't defective - it'll work.
One final tip - you can change the flashing rate by changing the internal capacitor. It comes with a 47mfd which I thought was too fast. I changed it to a 100mfd and it seemed better.
The whole job took about an hour.
