Flasher ?

[JohnB1953]

I am working on the 1981 GL1100 trike project again. I am doing the electrical and would like tasherso change flashers as the stock one will not flash now with the new lights (some led some regular). I did switch to a smaller 2 prong and got them to flash. When I took out the one that was in there I noticed one wire wasn't connected to anything.(Green wire). But the gray wire was connected to the L stud and the Black wire to the X stud. All the electronic flashersI found at the parts store had 3 studs for connections. Does any one know how these work. I am having trouble with the wiring diagram I have as the wire colors don't match up. Thanks John

The green wire is the ground wire, so if the flasher has a negative terminal, that's where the green goes. I have an 2 post electronic so the green wire is just dangling. I'll take a look at mine to see if it is labeled as to which wire goes to which post unless someone else answers.

Mine us like you stated. Gray is on L, black is on X.

Some 3 pin flashers have a seperate pilot light circuit rather than an earth so make sure. A 3 pin with pilot light circuit can be used like a 2 pin as you don't need the pilot light circuit.

What is the pilot light for?

Single indicator light. works for either side.
