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

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

Power failures in the middle of the road? What the fuck are you talking about?
This is just a blinker light module. You want us going out driving like BMW drivers with no blinkers?
Bro, chill...
No, I want you to not be driving around with something that could cause power failures. If your blinkers don't work, you shouldn't be driving, period. Bodging them in a way that could be dangerous doesn't count.
And yes, I've had one car burst into flames in the middle of the road because of electrical issues caused by a bad bodge done by a mechanic. And it was precisely a bodge with the fuse. Don't mess with that stuff.
Please explain to me how this could ever possibly cause a 'power failure'
The whole goddamn circuit was already short-circuited. I just bodged in a flasher control module in the middle of an already shorted circuit.
It works perfectly.
mucho amps = mucho sparks when shorted
Nothing to short out here, I'm extremely diligent in my wiring.
It's not, the bulb is limiting the current. Until it stops limiting it. Then you have a fire
The lights would burn out first if anything happens to go wrong.
Everything working fine right now, minus the emergency flasher button, but that'll require a whole new steering column to fix the emergency flasher.
It works, and keeps the cops off our ass...
