Hi folks,
I recently purchased a heavy duty Triton EL13 A-1 alternating flasher to replace the faulty canister flasher in my old Smith and Wesson bar. When I installed it it just makes a buzzing sound and one light stays on steady. I also had similar trouble when I was bench testing it with different lights. The unit has three prongs labeled "L", "L" and "X". From what I can guess, the two L's are for the lights you want to alternate, and the X is 12v positive. The unit does not have a ground wire or any ground point that I can determine. When testing I grounded the lights, wired each pos light lead to one of the "L"s on the flasher and put positive 12v to the X lug, and got the same buzzing effect with one light steady on. I searched online for some time, and read that it buzzes when wired wrong, but I'm out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin
