The only positive thing I ever thought this to be good for would be to FLASH to alert authorities coming to your trailer for an emergency...
I built a trailer lights dongle that would flash ALL the trailer lights when backing off the street on to our driveway.
Hard to imagine but apparently even a travel trailer isn't big enough to alert dummies racing down the street that they might have to slow down a bit and pause while I complete this process. :S
Great minds, and all that.
I did exactly the same thing, except, instead of a SPDT switch, I used a SPST switch that shorts the pins of the flasher together. Electrically, that takes the flasher out of the circuit. The weatherproof push on/off switch above the socket is what I use to toggle between flash/steady. If the switch is ON, the lights are on steady. If the switch is OFF, the lights flash.
If I want the lights OFF, I just unplug the cable.
(I also keep a cable in there long enough to reach from the battery to the tires to power my 12v air compressor.)
(The closest I could find to a flasher symbol was the ammeter symbol. Sorry about that.)
