Weird indicator/flasher behaviour

Post by wreckage » Mon Feb 22, 2016 11:50 am

G'day, Troops.
The other day my front-right indicator (standard units) stopped flashing and the rear-right started flashing at double speed. Aah.. blown bulb I thort. Popped a new one in but no dice. I still have the same issue. The left side indicators work properly. Does anybody know if I need a new part? Is there a flasher unit or a relay or something that may be playing up, or maybe just a loose connection?

Unplug the opposite indicator on the front and plug it in to isolate if its an indicator problem , so you have left rear, right front and right rear and left front.
You'll see then if the right rear/ left front flashes ok,You can isolate the flasher unit or possible connector.
But and if the left rear/right front is dicky, then look at an indicator problem because you changed it to the other side. :wink:

Check the wire connector from the indicator to the loom..sounds like it needs a squeeze with a pair of pliers.
Alternately, if the other side indicators function properly, then it's not the flasher unit.

Aaargh.. [best pirate impersonation]... 'twas naught but a dirty connection. A couple of pulls and pushes and it was fine. :oops:

Thanks for your input, fellers.
