dieselweasel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hello people, I am rebuilding a 1984 110. Onto the electrics stage now. I'm having problems with the indicators. If I indicate left or right, all four flash on and off like the hazard lights. The bit that is confusing me is the hazard switch and the flasher unit, 'cause I don't know really how they work. I have a new hazard switch and a new flasher unit, although they have been stood in my garage for a few years. I just wondered if anyone knew off the top of their heads why this happens and how I can solve it? Thanks for any help you can give...

Someone has done a thread on this and posted it in the tech archive. It's extremely useful and points out exactly what to check. Do a search for it. HTH Mark.

dieselweasel Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thanks. I put th old switch back on and it now works - something intermittent and corrosion based may come back and give trouble again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 as the switch has been sat doing nothing in a cold garage, it probably has slight corrosion on the internal contacts which is causing the problem, you can seperate the switch by carefully prising it apart & clean the ontact surfaces, rebuild & fit to see if it works as it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'd check it with a multimeter before taking it to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Have a read of this post and see if it helps. Yep, that's the one I was referring to. I'd forgotten it was you that had posted it Luke. It proved an extremely useful little diagnostic tool for me. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
