four-way flasher mystery
I have not found an emergency flasher in this coach. Ideas? Is it possible that it is the turn signal lever?

The best way to locate it is to turn the flashers on and listen for the clicking. It may be in the dash or the electrical compartment (more likely on a Regency). It's not likely to be in the turn lever area.

My Breakaway has three units: Turn signal, flashers, and brake. I haven't located the latter.

Rusty was right. I found the flasher by listening for the clicks. Replaced with solid state unit. Lessons learned:

<1> I have so far only found the one flasher...replacing this one lets the flashers work with the new LEDs for both turn signals and four-way flash.
<2> The original flasher did not have a ground wire but the replacement does...and it does not work without it.
<3> I expected that the solid state unit would not click but it does.
