Mathematical model used at Ford Motor Co to describe flasher failure pattern was Weibull distribution; determining actual usage and environment to which turn signal flasher is exposed made it possible to design laboratory test from which predictions could be made of flasher reliability as installed in vehicle; simplified reliability test plan was also devised for monitoring production flashers which permits valid conclusions to be reached by personnel not acquainted with statistics.
