Abstract
An electronic turn signal and hazard warning flasher of the kind generally used in automobiles. The flasher is composed of a lamp outage sense resistor, a pulse generator, and an outage sense deactivation circuit which deactivates the lamp outage feature of the pulse generator. The lamp outage deactivation circuit, which receives feedback signals from the turn signal lamps, can be installed in a variety of flashers to deactivate the lamp outage feature, and also can take on a multiplicity of forms. In one form, the outage sense deactivation circuit consists of a resistor and a switch control in parallel between the sense resistor and the pulse generator. In another form, the circuit consists of first and second resistors and a switch control.
