Yet another in a long line of interesting results from my garage. Switched out my front signals. Worked at first, then the right would work but the left would not. Wiggled the wires around the signal a bit and all was well...for awhile. So I un- and then rewire both of them. Viola! Now when I flick the switch for either right or left, ALL signals, rear included, flash at the same time, like automotive emergency flashers. Holy crap. Anyone have any suggestions on this one?

More than likely that's exactly what will happen (again!) but I guess I was hoping someone would say 'hey doofus, you hosed the blinker-flasher-cadence-configulator gizmo and now you simply have to replace it'.....but no such luck.

Ok, unwired the front signals once again and rewired them exactly as they were the previous two times. Holy cow, for some unknown reason they are now functioning properly. Don't know why and don't really care. Hopefully third time's a charm.

That's because you re-wired right about the time that the announcement of DENT 2014 was made.
