[T2] Wiring problems

[Pat Spragge/RFAN]

Are there 2 flashers on this bus? 1 for the turn indicators and another for
the emergency flashers? The flasher is simply a thermal circuit breaker and
you could bypass it and see if the fuse still blows which would then tell
you whether it is the flasher or a short somewhere else.

anything more specific but I was able to "fix it".
