Elan Sprint Two pin Flasher unit
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 9:16 am
I have been changing the dash on my Elan Sprint whilst the engine was being rebuilt, it has taken Speedy Cables longer than the engine rebuild to renovate my Speedo (but that's another story).
I have searched the forum, but have not been able to find the answer to my problem, but did get a lot of other useful hints and tips.
Anyway whilst I was stripping out the dash I labelled everything and took a lot of pictures. When the dash was removed I noted a two pin flasher unit screwed to the back of the dash. I did not have a note of removing any wires from the unit and assumed it was redundant.
I have not been able to located another flasher unit on the car- I have looked under the crash pad, foot wells, under the bonnet area, so I am assuming that the two pin unit was still being used and that I somehow missed removing the wires from it ( although I am convinced I didn?t !).
I have checked my work shop manual and various wiring diagrams and they all show the three pin flasher unit?
I down loaded a wiring diagram from the site, which has been very helpful
Two pin flasher unit
The flasher unit has pins marked L and B , the wiring diagrams all have three pin units marked L, B and P
I have found two spare wires Green/Brown and Green, which could be candidates for the flasher unit?
The green brown wire comes from the indicator stalk.
Any advice welcome as everything was working in the car when I removed the dash.
