Digi-Tails Flasher Relay
Ever wonder what keeps your signal lights blinking whenever you hit the switch? Your auto has a so-called flasher relay, which is the component that makes your lights blink or flash. So, if you notice something's wrong with the blinking of your signal lights, then you have to check your flasher relay immediately. Better yet, you should replace the old one with a Digi-Tail flasher relay to ensure a better and longer lasting performance. There are two types of flasher relay. One is thermo-magnetic and the other is electronic. Automobiles commonly use the thermo-magnetic ones. But how exactly does a flasher relay work? When you turn on the turn signal switch, electricity climbs up the two filaments going to a bimetal strip. As the wire heats up, the bimetal strip bends. This cuts off the flow of electricity going to the bulb. When the bimetal strip cools down, it unbends and restores the flow of electricity. The same process goes on as your turn signal lights blink. You must have heard about a heavy-duty flasher relay and a simple flasher relay, too. There's a big difference between these two, aside from their durability, of course. The simple thermal flasher relay lets you know when a bulb is burned out when the flash rate of the blinking changes. The flash rate, however, doesn't change at all when you're using a heavy duty flasher relay. The function of a signal flasher relay is indeed important to a driver. How else will you send signals if your turn signal lights act like headlights—just steady and not blinking at all?
