 | What kind of battery is it hooked up to? You could always buy an automatic switch. |

| You can most likely go to radio shack and get a switch that will basically do what switches do; open and close circuits at intervals. |

| depends on how big it is. I've never torn a "blinker thing" out of a car before. |

Tokenz: 3,096  | RE: Question Blinkers are controlled by relays that turn the power on & then off. You could probably use one if you are using a 12 V car battery or a heavy duty power suppply. You should try it if you have a spare blinker relay. The reason it may not work is the power supply may not be adequate. Allan
