if so you will need a different relay

Checked all four bulbs, all are the correct 21w bulbs , damn lol, the writing on the flasher relay has worn off so don't know if its a standard one or not, the standard flasher relay in my other LC wont flash the hybrids indicators at all which is strange, only other thing I found was I have 2 new (pattern) indicators on the right side of bike and 2 original indicators on the left side, the buld holders on the older ones are a bit rusty, ive cleaned em up best I could but made no difference, the newer ones don't flash any faster anyway, hmmmm. What about the bulbs in the instrument cluster if they were wrong would that make a difference ? they are meant to be 3.4w , cant see them causing an issue but could be wrong , cheers in advance guys

bad earth somewhere? have you tried swapping indicators with your other bike? Trying that today , will report back later  , thought about a bad earth too, tried a 2 pin relay I had lying about and it flashes correctly now but the bulbs aint very bright now. Probably need to clean up the earth points as well .

Right swapped over the indicators and relay and all worked well so that ruled out a wiring fault,so I changed all the bulbs for new and fitted a new relay , still no as bright as id like but flashing properly now . Think i'll spray the inside of ra indys silver to brighten em up a bit. |
