Problem:

The 8D-6946 Flasher has been service replaced and fulfilled by the 108-0358 Electronic Flasher Assembly. The new 108-0358 Electronic Flasher Assembly offers improved reliability over the former 8D-6946 Flasher. However, the 108-0358 Electronic Flasher Assembly is not a drop-in replacement for the 8D-6946 Flasher. The 108-0358 Electronic Flasher Assembly is longer, wider, and higher than the 8D-6946 Flasher. When used as a replacement for the 8D-6946 Flasher, the larger size of the 108-0358 Electronic Flasher Assembly may create mounting problems.

Solution:

Caterpillar Engineering is aware of this problem. A drop-in replacement for the 8D-6946 flasher is being pursued. At the present time, situate and secure the 108-0358 Electronic Flasher Assembly by the best means possible for each machine application. If further guidance is necessary, contact Caterpillar Electronics Customer Support at (309) 578-6529.
