Allen,
Dumb question - can't you just rip the existing blinker circuit
out entirely, wire in a replacement that simply connects to the proper
places in the wiring harness and call it good? Use an off the stock
flasher module designed for say LEDs and you can convert (or at least
have the option to) at the same time.
Sounds like an easier, cheaper way to me rather than making
something you'll have to troubleshoot and maintain.
