Sapphire question

How do I connect to a negative switched flasher to the sapphire? Install on a Tahoe SSV. I split the factory headlight flasher and tailight flasher. When split, the rear flasher is activated by a negative switched ground. (applying ground activates the tailight flasher) do I need the expansion module option?
Question 2, I am connecting an inner edge rear duo bar. The T/A has three wires, left /right/flash. I have the T/A model sapphire. Searching other post, do I not use the T/A plug and connect to output 9,10,11? If so, I assume I can assign the T/A buttons 11,12,13 on the rotary model control head?

Probably easiest to use a relay to swap positive trigger to negative for the flasher.

Can't speak to the t/a as I haven't done a sapphire install but if it's like the cencom, you wouldn't use the t/a plug as that controls individual heads and use the outputs on the sapphire to control the t/a.

Hope that helps,
Seth
