Warning flashers not flashing when I brake
« on: April 26, 2016, 08:34:50 AM »
Hi Guys,
Well, as the title states my warning flashers stay on when I press the brake. All turn signals and all other lights work correctly. Any ideas on what may be the problem or where/how to look?

Thanks in advance,
Dan.

THIS is normal on these cars  ;) While flashers are on and you step on the brake, you should have both front lights, both turn indicators and both brake lights ALL illuminated. Hazard flashers were a "modern feature" in the early Mustangs...not same as your modern versions of today.

The E-flasher ties in the brake lights and left and right turn signals, all flashing.  When you step on the brake, power is now supplied to the system at all times and over-rides the flasher power input.  Perfectly normal and expected with that particular design.
