    Got ya with that one?
    Where is the flasher located on a 93 freightliner fld 120
    I replaced one where all the relays and circuit breakers are located but hazards are still only working for about 15 seconds.

    it is not flasher problem. You have short circuit. Just toch cirvuit braker with fingertips and you will find hot one. Try to disconnect trailer wire from truck ( not from trailer).
    of no result, check taillamps wiring. it is usual place for damaged wire insolation.

    Good luck!

    May be. But there are simple ways of diagnostic with DVOM and probe light.

    Changing parts is too long way. and more expencive.

    Simplest diagnostic tool to find 90% of all problems.

    :biggrin_25525:

    well, I tried to look for wiring diagram of '93 FLD and... I have only later diagrams. Seems to me they are different.

    Here we have '00 and later US trucks. So old trucks are rare, becouse in 90-s it was greate post USSR recession and no many trucks were imported, and imported trucks were usually COE, generally International 9600-9800 with Cat3406 ore Cummins M11/N14.....

    Thanks for all the replies. Found the problem, the nut attaching wires to the circuit breaker for the flashers was slightly loose. Tighten it up and flashers work fine.
