Disconnect P terminal and reconnect it to L terminal????


That sounds too easy, it'll probably work (maybe a little slower paced signal tho).


It might work depending on how much resistance is in the indicator light circuit. Adding a bulb there would lower the overall resistance seen by the flasher. Have to do a bit of surgery though because of the terminals on the plug in type.

The thermal element is designed for a certain amount of resistance as determined by the bulbs. Get too far off either direction and depending on which way, it flashes very slowly to not at all or very rapidly. In this case, I think it might go faster rather than slower. You may remember what sometimes happens when one bulb burns out. The other one either stays on or blinks short quick blips.

If the electronic flasher one site offers will work on positive ground, then not an issue since there is no thermal element so not resistance dependent.
