New here, but wanted to share a problem at work with a BX2680 (2018). Tractor would only flash hazards on one side, LH side to be specific. Wasted a few days tracing continuity and having very odd multimeter readings. Ended up chasing continuity back to the flasher itself, which received 12.5 V and gave 12.5 V to the rear LH (which then travels up in my case, through a Curtis Industries cab, to the front hazards).
On the other hand, it received 12.5V but was only giving ~ .78 V to the RH rear hazard. Plugged a flasher from another tractor in and it worked. Hope this helps someone out there.

That's a good one.

When I was restoring my RTV1140CPX, I had an old flasher and after installing hazard flashers and turn signals, the flasher would work sometimes, and other times it would take "warm up" time to work.

All the while making "squeaking" noises.

Yeah, I went 'round checking circuits and grounds and all that too. It was just a bad flasher.
My flasher part number is: (7 pin)
3F240-75431 or 3F240-75430
used on about 500 Kubota machines!
