triggs Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi all, my son has a DT 50 MX and the indicators just stopped working. I thought it might be the switch, however, when you turn them on the neutral switch dims as though the indicators are getting power. Could it be the flasher unit or does anyone have any other ideas. All the other lights work fine. Thanks for reading. Hope you can help. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it is the flasher unit, i went through 4 on my derby send 50, not sure why it happened but i changed the flasher unit and they worked each time. Im not saying it's that for definite but it's a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the help, tried the arms, he's to lazy, kids these days. Got a new flasher relay, never worked, I will try charging the battery and checking the cells tomorrow. I think that will be ok as all the other lights work, will let you know how i get on.

I dont think the headlight is from the battery but direct from the magneto and the tail light is not much load from the battery so its not surprising they work ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks for all tour help. I changed the flasher unit and charged the battery all works fine now. Got a new battery on order as this one is not holding a charge for long. Thanks again. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
