[QUOTE="Mystic Knight, post: 3279849, member: 574367"] Dur... The more I think about it the more I'm thinking the multimeter probably doesn't have much resistance. If it did you wouldn't be able to measure resistance with it accuratly. That is, unless it compensates for it's resistance when it displays the measured resistance in a circuit. It's called an "electronic flasher". I've been told they're also called "no-load" flashers. I'm betting it's should really be labeled a "low-load" flasher. If it does need some kind of resistance to flash that would explain why it flashes with a bulb but not without one. I've been looking for some info on the electronic flasher I bought but haven't been able to find much info. Gotta love products made in Korea. Over the next few days I'm going to try to get the other lights wired up now that I know the flasher actually works with a regular bulb.
