Best Answer

The wire that runs through to the light caries the power and the blinker itself has metal that touches the frame when it is screwed on and it grounds it to the frame.

When it is grounded to the frame it completes the circuit. After it comes on there is a computer that senses it and makes it blink instead of just a steady light.
