Upgrade a flasher relay

Eric · Feb 12, 2008

I have messed with my lights on my 86 4runner and the resistance values are off, is there a way to upgrade the turn signal relay so the blinkers are back to normal speed?

You should have a regular 552 flasher. Go to any auto parts store and get a h/d one.

umm a 552 only has two pins, mine has three, so I dont think it will be a plug and go thing.

Toy flashers are different Gary, not the standard stuff. Google for the flasher mod, IIRC you pop it open and snip a resistor off the circuit board.

Get the part number off yours when you pull it and add it to your search, might help find more specific info to your year.

Rick and the rest of the sheeple on pbb all do the same thing and its weak...

If you wire up your corner lights leaving the marker power hooked up and replacing the maker ground with the power from the blinker you will get both blinker and marker from one bulb. Then its just a matter or replacing the factory blinker module with an el12 from napa it will be back to normal blink speed.

Oh and the el12 is a two prong module, if it wont work one way, turn it 90* and it'll work that way... :;
