thermal flasher problems

[braindead]

I just put a new wiring harness in my M35A2 and new light switch. The flashers worked before I did this but now they dont work. I also installed a new thermal flasher unit with no luck and checked all grounds and bulbs and the wiring to a list of correct wire numbers. The only way I could get the turnsignals to flash was to connect the wires to a flasher unit out of my old dodge car. Which was a 12volt unit. Mine is 24 of course and it was getting all 24 volts at the flasher unit.

Does anyone happen to know why they wont work? Or maybe what I could check next?

Thanks,
Braindead

still no luck on the flashers, maybe I should just use handsignals?

Is your new light switch push button or three-lever type?
The push button ones are prone to problems of their own. and most people who have put the push button unit in have since gone back to the earlier style.
I'd try swapping out components one at a time to see if things come back to life at some point. If they do then the last piece you changed out is the culprit. If the system works with your Dodge flasher, I think putting another flasher unit in is a good place to start.

The case of the flasher unit is not internally connected to ground, so make sure the "C" wire has a solid ground....
