Does this flasher mod work on the 1st gen gx470’s??
 

Here is the link.

No. Sanding that jumper won't ever have enough resistance to make this work. You need to install a potentiometer or do a calculation and solder in the right size resistor.

it looked shady.

Ive been doing electrical repair on vehicles(mostly German) for 2 decades. I can’t see how sanding the jumper would help... unless shrinking the size of the jumper would raise the resistance.. but then wouldn’t the sanding also increase heat acroos the circuit?

it looked like a cool way to ruin your flasher relay or burn your car down. Lol


thanks for the link.

100% correct. Reducing the cross sectional area of a wire does increase its resistance but it would also make the wire hotter since more current would be flowing through a smaller area.This is just a bad idea all the way around. Use a resistor if you need more resistance

I wouldn't do it, but it will work.

Yea... I think I’ll stick to adding resistors to the relay. That just goes against everything I’ve learned in the past 2 decades.
