This is probably a simple problem, but I am a complete ignoramus when it comes to electricity. I replaced my turn signal indicator with a different type, as the old one (3 watt, 12 volt bulb) was contained in the speedometer that had to go. The new one is a sealed unit, rated at .08 amp, 1.12 watt, 14 volt. The salesman assured me that these are intended for 12 volt automotive applications. When I tried it out, the turn signals and the indicator clicked on and stayed on. No flashing. I thought maybe my battery was weak and hooked up my trickle charger. Then it gave two or three slow flashes and stopped (on) again. What's going on? Does my flasher unit not like this small change in its little world?
