Inconsistent Indicators!!
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2016 9:55 pm
Evening all,
I have recently acquired Cedric's lovely pistachio over white FHC Elan Sprint and am just getting to grips with my new steed.
One of the issues that I would like to clear up before I put it through its MOT is to sort out the indicators. They are inconsistent at best. The rear indicators seem to come on as a solid amber, rather than flashing, the side repeaters blink very fast or very slow and the front indicators seem to work better. Internally the bulb on the dash seems to flash most of the time.
Where do I start and is it all likely to be a diy job for someone not greatly electrically competent?
Is it likely that I need to replace the bulbs all round, replace the flasher unit (where are they located and how many are there?) or do I swap to led Amber bulbs.....
Any experience from the board would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
James
