I believe it is the same as my A0is this use in an A0 truck as well?
No the FMTV units are 12v.It’s a standard military vehicle flasher unit.
Any military truck parts place will have them.
do off the shelf standard flashers ground off the mounting screw? if so run a wire to mount screw to "C" for better grounding?Great info guys.
All the lighting on the LMTV is 12v
I had been searching by the part number off the old unit.
That unit from erics may do the trick. Interestingly he shows the pinout info.
Pin A= Flasher output
Pin B= power input
Pin C= ground
Before I buy it, Im going to try to connect a common civilian flasher unit to the A&B pins just to see if it will work.
Well Doghead, you finally solved a very old problem for me on my M37. I went to NAPA and bought a LF 12 flasher. I picked this one because it is two wire and loud. I installed it and mounted it to the fire wall where I removed the stock unit. Now my turn signals work just fine and I can hear when I leave them on after a turn. This is going to save me a fortune in blinker fluid! The last time I bought a M series flasher I paid $50.00. This flasher was $12.50. Thank you for sound advise! I used 10 awg stranded wire. cut off a few strands and tinned the end. They fit nicely into the plug on the truck. The next guy can revert to the stock unit if he wants to. One vehicle down, two to go....Your thoughts are correct.
You can use either a 2 or 3 terminal flasher unit. 2 terminal does not require a ground to operate.
Regular automotive flasher will work fine.
I’ve used bullet connectors to push into the truck harness, to make that connection and used female blade on the other end for the flasher.
Also, fancied that up a bit with a standard automitive headlight pigtail for the flasher to plug into, then used the bullet connector to fit into the truck harness. HAve been running like that for over a decade on some trucks.
