Audible indicator relay.

[l10tus]

Can anyone suggest how to wire an audible 2 pin electronic flasher relay into my original 3 pin relay wiring loom, please?

Reason is, I've scoured the internet and as usual, I seem to be the first person to look for one of these and there doesn't seem to be any electronic audible 3 pin flasher relays available?
(How come - am I missing a trick here?)

The third pin is shown used on the S4 wiring diagram to wire in the circuit for the repeater lamp in the Speedo face, , so how is this done with a 2 pin can???

Replies // diagrams or a link to a suitable 3 pin electronic beeping flasher unit, gratefully received!

Electronic preferred so as to eliviate some of the common time consuming issues, like super flashing, no flashing and unlit warning lights, as they are now the same price as the "gas powered" ones!

Cheers,

Phil.

This is what I used when I converted to LED lighting https://www.bettercarlighting.co.uk/ind ... ductId=546 G2 Flasher Sounder

I stuck mine, with double-sided tape, on top of the plenum chamber so that it acts as a sort of resonator. It's actually quite loud.

Speak to Gil at Better Car Lighting, he's very helpful.

When the 3 pin hazards flasher gave up the ghost in my +2 I also had difficulty finding one. This worked but was silent:

I ended up with this no name one. Works well and produces a nice loud click:

Looks to be smaller ones now available, but I can't vouch if they click or not!

I have a box full of old flasher relays. We are talking at least 40 bygone years. Most, if not all, will be original to Lotus Elans. I knew they would be worth a fortune one day Enquire within.

Thanks for the replies, but just to confirm, I require an electronic beep flasher unit, not a "click" one and not an original one.

Still looking!

I have contacted a number of suppliers in order to find a 3 pin electronic beeping indicator relay with no results.
Unfortunately most of them can't even fully understand the question/ request, as usual, going off on a tangent topic, explaining how electronic ones work with led'd etc.

It's apparent that the replies are either computer generated, very generalised answers, that neither understand the request or can give a basic yes / no answer - how sad!

There must be some explanation as to why they are readily available in 2 pin form - but not 3 pin???

Are there any electronic engineers out there that can offer advice on how to either convert to a suitable 2 pin, or otherwise enable the Elan wiring and three pin flasher to be upgraded to led compatible with bleep sound (not click!) please?

We used to lead the World in this sort of thing now, people don't even understand the question- aaaargh!
Cheers,
Phil.

Oldelanman - thanks - Bingo!!

Just ordered one!

Embarrassing really, as I scoured the internet a eBay for one, but turned up ziltch!!

Many thanks!
Phil.

Wouldn't connecting the indicator positive lead to the output side of the 2 terminal flasher accomplish this? The wiring diagram seems to support this.

Edit: my mistake. The indicator bulb would complete the circuit and continuously flash without the switch being triggered

On my Seven with a non cancelling indicator switch I wired in a 12v beeper and an LED to the flasher unit. It has the advantage that the beeper can be anywhere behind the dash for loader sounds, I needed to tape over the beeper as it was too loud even in a Seven

Someone has already suggested you contact Gill at Better Car Lighting, he is a mine full of information and not just lighting. Spoken to him a number of times and even lining him up to do a talk for one of the other Club's I belong to.

Thanks for the replies Gents, Oldelanman pointed me in the right direction. Issue sorted thanks.
