[T3] Turn Signal Flasher Workaround Found

["knowonelse@sbcglobal.net" <knowonelse@sbcglobal.net>]

<x-flowed>I took the flasher out and while there are a couple of
small common screws to remove, the rolled over tube
that surrounds the attachment screw must be have one
end cut off to gain access to the innards.

I took extra time and cleaned up each and every spade
connect to shiny enough condition, removed and cleaned
up the switch, and cleaned up the place where the flasher
gets it's ground to the body.

Not all at once, I had to do this in stages as once I got
the relay back in place, it didn't work until I twisted it
to get a better ground.

Still nothing changed, so I played switcheroo with the
power leads, switched and always-on. If I powered
up the always-on connector with switched power, it
worked. Odd behavior, so I provided switched power
to both power connectors, and lo and behold, it worked
under all conditions, as long as I had the switch on.

Something within the relay only worked when switched
power was applied, so I provided switched power to
both and all is good, or as close as I can get.

On to installing a windshield washer pump.
