Hi, I am wanting to put a wig-wag flasher in addition to my other lights on my 1996 Chevy S-10 Pickup Truck. I'm wondering what kind I need and how difficult they are to install. I've heard about posative and negative systems and I'm in the dark on this one.
Thanks for any help, Kevin

- What radios do you own?: XTS5000 for work
Yours takes the positive switched flasher. Easy to install. GM didn't make this complicated until the 1998 S-series came out.
Does yours have Daytime running lights? I have no idea how that can complicate things past using a relay to shut them off when activating your wags...
If you buy one off of eBay, only buy used "solid-state" (no moving parts; last much longer) or NEW relay flashers. Solid-state flasher units tend to be incased into an aluminum heat-sink chassis. Relay flashers tend to have two big relays sunk into the epoxy hardened unit.
You here the "click-click..." with the relay flashers; they don't last as long!
I've picked up a few in the last couple months actually, all were used and I paid $20 for each. All work great!
