Slow indicator, but only off side!

PostPost by: TonyJ » Sun Apr 22, 2012 6:08 pm

My off side indicator is very slow, stops at low revs, where as my near side is ok. Voltage stabiliser replaced during rebuild. Anyone have ideas as to why and how to solve - is it the flasher unit behind the dash?

Two weekends on the road and running great :D enjoying it so much. Runs hot when in traffic. We keep the heater on which is ok in this weather but wont be on the hot summer days - may invest in a full width radiator.


Thanks, Tony

High resistance in the circuit, possibly a connector or bad bulb contact but probably a poor earth.

Hi Tony,

I had a similar problem with mine. It was a bad earth in the off side indicator cluster. It was earthing back down the live wire on the side light rather than the correct earth wire and of course not working at all. Check the earth on the back of the indicator cluster.

Cheers Lee
Regards

Lee
