Did this some time ago. The old and the new turn signal flashers.
The new electronics uses parts available at your nearest Radio Shack store, a very simple oscillator with a transistor doing the switching. It blows very quickly if overloaded.
The old design was more complicated and uses a 50 amp silicon controlled rectifier for the switching. All components mil spec, btw. It can sustain a shorted load until the circuit breaker trips.
Hint: If you are looking for a good flasher, go for the old ones made in the 1960's.
