Hello to All, thanks for reading my question.

When I use the emergency flasher only the front lights flash.

Looking at the wiring diagram that seems to be the correct operation;
but it seems to me the front and back lights should flash.

All other operations work well.

Please set me straight.

Thank You,
Bryant

Yes, all 4 corners should flash. Do your brake lights work properly?, you may have signal switch issues.

All 4 t/s bulbs should be flashing, as well as the turn indicators in the dash.
Here's the relevant wiring diagram:

Again thanks for the drawing; but there is an issue !

My switch does not have the RED BLACK wire from the brake switch.

And there is not a position for it on the switch.

There is an external very small resistor.

Any ideas on the difference ?

Also today I noticed that the brake lights are not working; I do not know
when that started. The rear left turn signal works but not right.

Tks,
Bryant
