Quoted from rockwell:

I have an issue with my (new to me) WCS94 where no flashers work. I began exploring that, and was examining the bridge rectifier and cap in that circuit. Cap looks original. BR4 looks like it had been replaced, and there are jumpers on the back. I've not worked on a WPC PDB before, so I'm not sure if these are appropriate, or perhaps part of the issue. Anyone have thoughts on if these look legit or not? Thanks!

WARNING! *FREE SPEECH COMING DONT READ IF EASILY OFFENDED*

LTG covered this already but this is what happens when someone is overconfident in their abilities to repair circuit boards fails miserably and then has to hack the board to get it to work. The Bridge rectifier on these boards is likely the simplest thing to replace on this entire board. Hopefully whoever did this learned that they are not competent to repair these boards and stopped at this one...but I doubt it.
