The blinking Cadillac Fleetwood Turn Signal Flasher blinks when the driver intends to change lanes or make an emergency stop to indicate to other drivers where their car is headed. Within the fuse panel is a Turn Signal Flasher that connects a switch in the steering column to the indicator light bulbs outside. It sends power on and off so the lamps flash at a consistent rate. In the early Cadillac Fleetwood models, a thermal style Turn Signal Flasher was applied which heated a metal strip that induced the strip to bend, which closed the circuit to light the bulbs. The metal strip cooled and reopened, repeating the circuit and providing the familiar blink and click sound. Owners of classic Cadillacs love that unmistakable sound. As lighting technologies advanced, the Cadillac division equipped Fleetwood production with a new solid state Turn Signal Flasher. This was a flasher that no longer applied mechanical moving metal but instead applied electronic timing chips and transistors to manage the same on off cycle. Further, electronic switching will make no heat and be an essential requirement when low draw LEDs replace traditional bulbs. While the two work on different principles, mechanical heat with electronic control, either Turn Signal Flasher unit is a direct plug-in part, sized for the lifetime of the vehicle with minimal maintenance required.
