A totally unrelated question. I just acquired an M123A1C and am preparing it for the 50 mile journey to my place. The turn signals don't work. I bought a new solid state flasher unit and plugged it in, added a good ground, and yippee it worked... for about 10 seconds, then the smoke escaped from the flasher, and the epoxy resin started melting.😮 I'm going back there tomorrow with an old style flasher but I don't want to fry it. What checks should I do with a multimeter to see if I don't have a fault in the curcuits?
Use a multimeter to check resistance in the circuit. Three wires on the flasher connector. One is ground, one is power in, one is power out. With the flasher disconnected check resistance with the blinker switch on left, then on right. Check all your bulbs for corrosion in the sockets.
I love battlefield tours. A great way to understand what our troops went through.👍🍺🍺🍁
Thanks for the tour. My father was in the Korean War.🇺🇸

Cool, thanks.
Thanks Garrett for the country side tour! Ever run across poisonous snakes or dangerous wild animals?
I've seen a couple on post right outside my shop but never out in the woods yet.
