TheBeastie Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Had a wierd one this morning. When I put right indicator on I realised that the dash bulb was permanently lit not flashing. I stopped and right enough all right hand bulbs permanently lit (despite stalk being back at "neutral"). If I put it to indicate left then the left bulbs flashed but the right bulbs stayed lit. If I put hazard lights on then all bulbs flashed properly but as soon as I switched off the right bulbs were back on full. I stopped the engine and then restarted and all was then fine. The only environmental issue was that it was wet. Does this suggest issue with the stalk/switch or with the relay? Or is it something else. My instinct would be the relay sticking/packing up but I am not sure I trust my instinct! I would prefer to find the issue since now that it has happened once it could presumably happen again. Thanks and best wishes Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi , check your battery voltage with engine running as low voltage will cause this, have you got the correct wattage bulbs in ? this will also affect flash rate or its the relay. hth cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'd suspect the relay (flasher unit) is sticking, a quick swap with a known good one would confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Operate the hazard switch a couple of times as this is linked to the indicators. If problem persits swap relay, if still there then its a wiring fault, probably a duff earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeastie Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks guys If the relay unit am I right in thinking that would be PRC8876. There is a trailer facility on The Beastie. The more I think about it the more I feel if it was an earth then it wouldn't have just sorted so quickly - or am I being niave (can never spell that ruddy word and this doesn't have spellcheck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yep PRC8876 flasher relay electronic with trailer facility. IIRC it's a Hella translucent blue unit on the bulkhead face of the main fusebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
