After my friend installed a remote start module in my 96' tahoe I noticed my emergency headlight flashers I previously installed no longer work.

I have the flasher power coming from the aux A out of the fuse box, so it shouldn't be a power issue.
The flashers use the parking lights as a shut off feature but have never shut off before and the flashers don't work w/ them on or off.

Headlight flasher: Whelen UHF2150a

Remote Start: CrimeStopper RS3-G3
:confused:

any suggestions?

Interesting issue. If you find out let me know, I take it you are a brother FF, I was going to be installing some flashers in my 96 tahoe for dept use. If you find out let me know

Well this is embarrassing. Turned out to be a control wire that became disconnected probably while installing the hood kill switch. goes to show you should always leave some slack in your wiring.
yeah I'm a volunteer in southern nj.

I found a space under the ECM I believe next to the storage box, to put the module and zip tied it in after finessing it in. and wired in a momentary switch over the on/off switch.

Heads up on the scotch locks you should seal them with some dilectric grease to prevent corrosion. I'm a Deputy chief in a combination department in CT. Good luck and stay safe. I drive a1999 lifted Tahoe with RCD 6 inch lift and hid always in front and rear with two dash light red and blue.
