To make  matters worse, after a day of all this, I'm putting it all back
together  when my Pop comes out from town, looks on for a minute, says, "did
you try  changing the flasher?"
"uh, so where were you this morning  Dad?"
Learning all the time.



That's why I asked!  These flashers just don't go bad that  often so, I had 
the though, don't think I have a spare, and would've started in  with my 
head under the dash with a test light, then started chasing  grounds!
  Sounds like I'd better see if I happened to nab a flasher out of my  
friend's Rabbit when he scrapped it!
 
  Like the other day, rebuilding the backhoe valves.  The parts  included 
two o-rings and a seal for the spool, an o-ring for the threads of each  
pressure relief, an o-ring for the load check plug below it and an o-ring and  
backup washer for the prv body.  
They were a tight fit to get in  so I tightened a tad, back, tighten, back, 
until it was in.  Removing a  couple times to see if it was going well.  It 
was.  Got to the last  PRV and the backup stretched and wouldn't go in plus 
I forgot an o-ring on the  threads of another so had to remove it.  Backup 
was toast.  Took out  another, toast as well as the o-ring.  :-P  
I went home to  e-mail asking HOW ON EARTH do I get these together right 
(backups as well as  plug o-rings were all non existent upon disassembly, not 
unusual I guess)?   Open my mail and there's a note about some other parts I 
needed to order.   In it, he mentions that some of them DON'T use the 
backups and at the price they  are, it's worth the postage to return them.  Poop, 
poop, poop!  Well,  now I know!  He's sending new o-rings along with the 
other stuff... 
  Yeah, learning, sucks sometimes.  That's why I asked about the  flasher 
first!
