Pittsy3000 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I suggest you try putting the old blinkers back on and see if you get the same problem.... If so you have unpluged or knocked out the wrong cable.. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you have unpluged or knocked out the wrong cable.. Dan I have tryed putting the old ones back on and the hazards work again .Then i put the new ones back on and wired them oposit to how i wired them the first time but still the same .I think it could be a relay that needs changing but i just dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted September 8, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2008 Are the new ones filament bulbs or led's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Are the new ones filament bulbs or led's? Hi There, forgot those newfangled things as I'm 'living in the past' they dont exist !!!! but I would guess that a led set up would need a different flasher can Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyjaynal Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 If they are LED's there are a couple of ways around it rather than change the flasher unit. It's the difference in resistance that effects the unit so you could wire a resistor in line with each indicator or what has worked for me is to wire a small bulb in under the rear body work in line with the indicators.

Moderator Airhead Posted September 10, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 10, 2008 If your bike ia 12Volt electrics, make sure new indicators are also, Same applies for 6Volt!...After that cant think of ant reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
