WTB: Taillight Flasher (reverse lights)

[TxDps]

Remember the correct wire coloring in the trunk!

I hooked mine up years ago, in the dark and in a hurry.

Tried it out and all I heard was a hum on, hum off, hum on, hum off.

??? Sounded like the fuel pump.

Sure enough, there is a pink with black wire, and a black with pink wire.

So much for being in a hurry the night before an event!

I would easily make that mistake!

Which Brand and Model did you use? Was it reverse or reverse and signal flasher? THANK YOU!!

You can wire in a regular headlight flasher too if it's done properly. If your car is a maunal then then there is no concern regarding the auto transmission shift interlock. However, the warning given for flashing taillights applies to all Fords with an auto transmission, Crown Vic, Mustang, Trucks, etc. What flashing the tailights can do is disable the vehicles shift interlock, basically you can shift the car out of park without depressing the brake when the flasher is on. It's more of a CYA thing for Ford and the maker of the flasher, it's not like the vehicle will spontaneously shift itself out of park and drive off like KITT could do!

Now that would be a neat trick Eric!
