It worked for the turn signals, but once I tried the 4-way flashers, it failed. Once it failed, it would flash only once, and even then, I would have to wait a few seconds before hitting the switch again.
There are 2 smaller devices (I think they are relays) inside the flasher unit, along with a small chip and a few other components. I think that the 2 are for the 2 sides of the turn signals, and when you turn on the 4-way flashers, both relays work at once, and the increased current caused the twist tie to heat up, which increases the resistance, and it acts as an open circuit, and the lights do not flash. There must be a reason why they used a thick-ish steel wire in the first place. The first piece I tried was of a similar gauge.
The new flasher units and all the rest of the LEDs are coming in a few days...
