Loud Flasher

Anyone know of a loud turn signal flasher module for the Ford SD (5 pins)?

I need an electronic one for LED's.

Thanks

I'll be heading over to my local Kenworth dealership to get my electronic flashers for my LEDs. I've been wanting my flasher clicks to be more like the sound the Freightliner box truck I drove made.

And that will fit a Ford?

Not totally sure... When I asked about an electronic flasher there he looked under Ford part listings. He went to the back and came out with a flasher and asked me if mine looked like the one he had. I didn't know though cuz I never actually looked at my flasher.

I got the LED flasher from Pep Boys.

It's a 5-pin EP27 flasher. Make sure that the flasher has "LED" print it on. It works great.

You need an electronic flasher if you have LED's to keep them from flashing so fast.

I already have the electronic flasher, but I can't hear it. I need one that makes more noise.

Depends where you look. Kenworth wanted 18 bux a piece but I've seen some of the online LED shops want as much as 40 bux a piece.

The electronic flasher is an EP27. Pick one up at NAPA (NAPA PN NF EP27) for $17.

NAPAONLINE®

IFRC it is under the dash near the center. Turn the flashers on and feel around, you will find it.

I need one that is louder than this one.

Oh, so you were the guy from the other day with the left turn signal on for 17 miles....

I have the opposite problem with my 2000 SD. The turn signal finds any reason to click off unless the steering wheel is turned rather tightly or steady straight ahead. It's a constant battle in traffic. One hand is on the turn signal, the other is on the stick shift, and the third hand is on the steering wheel.

Yeah, that was me! Now you see my problem. Not sure if the sound output from the electronic flasher has decreased or if my hearing is going; probably the latter, but I can't hear it at all.

I considered wiring up a sonalert beeper to the circuit, but could not figure out a good way to do it.
