indicators flashing fast?
There may be an obvious reason for this but can anyone explain why when i press ths hazard light switch all six indicators flash correctly (front, side and rear) but when I use the indicator switch either way the indicators on the appropriate side all flash fast as if there is a bulb out?
Has me foxes Russ |
Russ,
Are any of the indicators LED's? If so you will need to fit resistors in parallel with the bulbs, or get a fixed rate flasher relay. |
Nope, all standard bulbs. Forgot to say its a 1.8 cvh sierra build with donor wiring loom
|
sounds to me like you dont have the right amount of load to make the flasher relay work correctly.
if you have no led lights fitted and all are working i bet it is that some of the bulbs are lower wattage (used any motobike indicators?) iirc a sierra used 2x 21w bulbs f&r and 5w repeater the idea was when the bulb blew you could tell by the flash speed getting quicker |
Ah.... that could be it. Motorcycle front indicators!!!! I have a pair of 501 sidelight bulbs, will try swapping the bulbs over.
Well done that man :) |
Right, that's knackered that plan. The 501's are only 5w, the bulbs in currently are 10w. Presume there is a way round this issue is there?
|
Should work the opposite with the higher load of the two 10 w repeaters,something aint right.
|
If your using a sierra donor, the front indicators should be around 25w. I had the same problem using 10w indicators from cbs.

Standard flasher bulbs are 21 watt and 5 watt in the repeaters.
