The MC brake / Ebrake warning light is the only light that should blink if the OEM flasher is installed. If the flasher is EP26 LED-compatible flasher then both will flash together.

There is only one Flasher "relay" in the system. It is not a relay in any sense but it does sort of look like one externally.

Jerry, now that you mention it my flasher is an EP26. I remembered I installed it when I converted all my lights to LED's. It's a sucks getting old!
