A flasher unit, commonly used in automotive lighting systems, operates by controlling the on-off cycling of turn signal or hazard lights. It consists of a bimetallic strip or an electronic circuit that heats up when current flows through it, causing it to bend and break the circuit temporarily. As the strip cools, it returns to its original position, re-establishing the circuit, resulting in the lights flashing. This cycle repeats, creating the blinking effect characteristic of turn signals and hazard lights.

If one signal works its not the flasher. You probably have a bad/wrong bulb or a bad socket. Check your owners manual for correct bulb size. If that's not the problem check for a bad socket. Your emergancy flashers are on a differant flasher unit.
