[DeTomaso] [EXTERNAL] Flasher disable

[Himes, Terry (US 397C)]

Ok.  The BEST line in your great article was “Don’t ask me why it’s wired that way, it’s Italian!”

Yeah. Elon is great at shameless self-promotion.  HaHa!  😉  (with our money)

He's just trying to keep up with Elon Musk who sent a Tesla Roadster into space...  :)

Anyway, attached is an article I wrote when I R&R'd my Hazard Switch.

Cheers!

   I am surprised you would ever consider sending it to Mars with a wonky

   flasher switch!

   Pantera Guru's.

   Anyone know if I can disconnect the Emergency Flasher without

   compromising

   anything else?  And... do I disconnect at the flasher or at the fuse

   box?

   I bought a replacement, but I cannot see an easy way of getting it

   installed without

   pulling the dash. But to be honest, I didn't try very hard. We are

   pushing to get

   to launch (Mars 2020) and I don't have a lot of spare time.
