Hazard Lights

[rhm]

There were some good responses to my questions about my new (to me) 04 Providence on a Freightliner chassis, so here's another one.

This rig seems to have the system older cars once had (Fords?) where if the brake lights were on, the hazard lights wouldn't flash. I like to put my hazards on when approaching construction or other danger areas on the highway to alert those behind me, but if the brakes are on the lights on my coach don't flash.

It seems the retarder brake also activates the brake lights, so my hazards don't flash if I'm slowing with the retarder on, or using the hazards on mountain grades.

I'm sure this is something I'll have to live with, but I thought I'd float it out there to see if anyone has any suggestions. Maybe I could run a set of strobes in the back, or another set of flashers.

Any thoughts?
