    Brake Caiper issue fixed now into TS Flasher issue draining battery

    My Mk4 has been on the road since 2017. only 1 Big issue .The 2009-20012 Mustang front caliper pistons kept locking (Phoenolic) solution was to fit those with metal pictons. That fix woked, no more front wheel lockup.

    Now the next issue the Turn signal and 4 way flashers have had an issue since day 1. When the Key is off, the flashers stay warm but are NOT flashing . At first i thould i thought i had a bad battery. It kept drainig. Now ehen I part the car I use th Master Kill switch to shut all all powere off. T786-1"he flashere that came with thr ron francis wiring kit say "TYCO 0-1432786 -1" they are 12V spst 5 pin type. who carries exact repplacements or similar?

    With te flashers removd te TS flashers abd 4 way flashers sill energize and come on,

    I did not have a issue with my flashers draining my battery, however I did have an issue with the premature failure of the flashers supplied with the kit. I went to my local auto parts store and bought the lifetime guaranteed version of the flashers supplied. Never an issue after that.
    A question, have you swapped the position of the two flashers to see if the problem follows a particular flasher? If you swap them and have the same drainage issue, the problem may not be the flasher itself, but with the wiring.
