So I recently switched my incandescent bulbs to LEDs. Much brighter, and now I don't have to search high and low for 23/8 Bay 15d bulbs. But my self cancelling didn't work anymore. Honestly, I always thought the stock canceling was way too short at 9 seconds. So I wired up this solid state relay / timer. It has all sorts of different timer modes. I programmed it to turn on as soon as the switch is activated, then it waits for the auto cancel signal from the TSCU, then waits and additional 20 seconds before turning off the lights. If you activate the switch at any point, the process starts all over. So the TSCU is what's controlling the relay, which is controlling the flasher. Exactly how the stock flahser worked. Except this one is a little smarter.
Now I have LED lights + the stock functionality of the TSCU with the whole speed sensing timer thing, AND more time. And I can adjust it to whatever timer works best for me.
We'll see how well it works over time. Just thought I'd share in case others there want LED but still want self cancelling. There are other ways to do this as well, but this wasn't that hard to do and wasn't that expensive.
This is how it's wired.
