ABSTRACT:
An electronic flasher system in which a first hazard switch is mounted on a combination switch body of a steering column together with a semiconductor switch and a flasher circuit, and a second hazard switch is mounted in a location where a person sitting on a seat other than a driver's seat can operate it. In one embodiment, an electric current detection resistor having a bimetal structure serving also as a sound source is connected to the semiconductor switch for flashing the direction indication lamps. The electric current detection resistor is welded to terminals on a module composed of the semiconductor switch and the flasher circuit, which module is mounted on the combination switch body. A protrusion is formed on the module to produce a striking sound by colliding with the electric current detection resistor. In another embodiment, the sound source is connected with the flasher circuit, and a blowing sound generated from the sound source is different in the turn signal flashing mode than in the hazard flashing mode, the blowing sound preferably being generated only in the turn signal flashing mode.
