A229S 2509A229S / 261 / 2509   Turn Signal Flasher 6 volt

This A229S / 261 / 2509 flasher is new, NOS, Aluminum can.  This flasher has black lettering on the can as pictured.  An Ideal brand flasher, round and tall in shape and in mint condition.  It is a 2-terminal flasher with the terminals in the normal configuration. Listed to flash two 21 CP std. lamps.

Ford used this particular flasher on the following:

1953-1955 Fords

1953-55 Lincolns

1953-55 Mercury

1955 Thunderbirds   

Also, some light duty trucks of those years.

  This flasher is a good example of what I was explaining about superseded numbers, in a different listing.  In the 2 pictures I have used here they are 2 different flashers, both made by Ideal, both A229S flashers but one superseded number is 261 and the other is 2509.  My research tells me the 2509 is the earliest number.  All 3 numbers refer to the same flasher.

 These instructions are always on the box flashers come in

X — Power (hot lead)

L — Load (to switch operating lamps to be flashed)

  P — to Pilot indicator lamp (this connection may be omitted. Flasher will operate properly either way)
