Wiring- Towing-Fuses ?

[R C Cola]

I have a problem with blowing fuses on the truck for the emergency flasher

circuit--- ONLY WHEN TRAILER CONNECTED--after about 2 minutes. Smaller trailers do not cause the problem. Do not want to overload the circuit. Would like to use relay for the trailer flasher load (larger load than the truck), do not want to fry any wires. Already have seperate wiring from underhood to rear

trailer connector for left and right signals.

Is there a way to supply power to the trailer flashers with one relay or will I have to use 2 ? How and where to tie in to not overload dash wiring, etc.

I have the Haynes schematic but too generic for me to tell proper wire hookups.

Thanks in advance. RC

RC,



There is something wrong with your wiring, a short or something. You shouldn't have to rewire the truck for emergency flashers. I'm not sure where to start, but my guess is if you check the wires one of them is rubbing on the frame or one of the connectors is full of water.
