When you flick the turn-signal stalk, in the car, you hear a steady “click-click-click.” Ever wonder where that sound comes from? It’s the automotive flasher relay – a small universal relay that opens and closes the circuit several times per second. Each click tells you, the driver, that the turn signal is active, while the […]
