An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Fuckit, less than $20 parts, and very little labor. Works perfectly 👍

Oh, you're fun, you assume lots of things..

Nothing about this truck makes sense, I'm literally playing it by ear.

Fuck, it's missing the passenger side dashboard..

This is a redneck nightmare, but still runs pretty nicely...

Nothing in my post is an assumption, but this is: Your driving that turd on the streets and its breaking down, thats why I think you need you hazards. I'll also assume you are in over you're head and that you're cheap (or broke).

Seriously, no reason to shame anyone over this. We are all struggling in different ways. If this is what makes it work, so be it. Not like they are defeating their airbags or some safety issue.

You're correct about the shaming, it was not my intent, but I'm sorry if that happened.

That being said, worst case scenario with this setup is the ground fault failure that is not fused and continues to increase in temperature until a fire starts on the road. Second is the vehicle simply shutting down due to loss of power while driving.

I appreciate your concern.

There is absolutely no way this can short out, all wires and clips are fully insulated, and the module itself is completely surrounded by plastic.

Whenever I manage to figure out where the OG flasher module is, I can very easily pull my redneck fix out and put a 15 amp fuse back in.

But this works for now...

That's fine, you're entitled to your words.

The truck was a gift, I had to figure out how to crank it up first.

Sadly there are no hazard lights, the previous brain damaged owner jammed a screwdriver down in the steering column and fucked all that up.

This is Mississippi homie, we're good here, I got it roadworthy..
