finnerz89 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Are your indicators/bulbs standard? I had a similar problem when I upgraded my indicators, and the new ones exceeded the wattage of the stock relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar problem when I upgraded my indicators, and the new ones exceeded the wattage of the stock relay.I think they are standard, i think ba9 type not LED or the likesthanks by the way Edited November 28, 2015 by nigel smith forgot thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yes but you need to check the wattage of all the bulbs, and compare it to that of the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted November 28, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) The indicators work as they shouldThe relay works tooI'd try cleaning the switch contacts, it's the only thing unique to hazard warning lights, maybe even a spray of WD40 will do it?

nigel smith Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 hi all i have had a look at my rear bulbs which are aftermarket and i cant see the wattage, presuming they are over ten watts and the relay cant cope i have had a look on ebay for a different relay and found these. see link My standard relay is FE218BH rated a 10w x 4 for the hazard lights 10w x 2 for indicators Could i use the FE246BH rated at 21w x 4 for hazard lights 21w, 23w and 27w x 2 for indicators http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281833651894?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT what i want to know is for £6 second hand will this solve my problem or cause other problems with indicator speed ect thanks in advance nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 That should be fine. Funnily enough it's only the wattage that affects the speed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is a product of resistance, current and voltage. So all 3 affect the speed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 True. But a change in wattage affects the current and resistance therefore the speed. I probably didn't word that brilliantly but hey ho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
