[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1172654, member: 3828"] Wow. Bad reading comprehension followed by a lot of disinformation. The OP wants to flash his Whelen LED 3rd brake light. He wants it to flash and then go steady on (which is the only legal way to have a brake light flash in many jurisdictions). The Whelen has flash modes but they are all continuously repeating, which is NFG. What he wants, is what I have, and what was [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/120299-whelen-lin3-programable-flasher-wow/"]originally proposed by Da Judge, so many years ago here[/URL]. Use the flasher module that Geezer mentioned, the [URL="https://www.3rdbrakeflasher.com/brake-light-flasher-c-65/universal-brake-light-flasherstrober-1000-modes-p-181.html"]3rd Brake Light Flasher[/URL]. I have installed this exact setup (Whelen and 3BLF) on several bikes now after reading Da Judge's original post, and they have all been 100% reliable and weatherproof. Totally reliable. The only possible failure point lies in your own wiring ability. You can program the flasher many ways (ref the link) but I prefer the 5 fastest flashes followed by constant on, and with no "lock out" so if I let of the brake and then re-engage it I get the strobing LEDs again. $20, how can you go wrong? It's the bomb. [/QUOTE]
