electrical question

hi all any electrikery people out there .just found some small dash lights .the ones you drill a hole for and just push them in .i would like to wire them up to the indicators .due to the fact the one on the stork dont work . now would i wire them up to the flasher unit or try and wire them up to the indictor arm .have made a ally panel for the dash in the center above the speedo .just not sure how to wire them cheers

wire them in line to indicator feeds,from switch

ok thanks. thats straight of the steering colum wires then thanks for that . will give it a go .

Have you checked the flasher relay is the correct one, first?

no mate havent checked i know its just behind the speedo .wouldnt know if its the right one or not but it works just got no visual in the cab so thougth about fitting in some small lights .just so i know there working ,cant allways hear it clicking due to all the rattles and engine noise . cheers

its working if indicators flash

But not properly or bin replaced with wrong one if dash light not working

series flasher relay works on feed side everthing other function comes after

In english please.

series vehicles have simple 2 pin flasher that work on positive feed to switch,other functions like the lights or dash repeaters come from after switch ,not from more complicated relays as fitted to later vehicles ,i thought you were fairly knowledgably about these things and abbreviated explanation would suffice

And would it suffice for the OP or any other newby?

Not had a series for a few years so forgot about only 2 pin relay, but have seen 4 pin relays in place of 5 pin relays causing no dash signal light.

maybe not but i was answering you and i arent going to mention recirculating ball pas boxes

That's good, cos I int mentioned them at all.

i know,but it isnt easy to explain for me do you write full explanation which could be percieved as treating others to suck eggs ,or concise

I try to concisely explain how to suck eggs

hi thanks for the help just fitted indicator warning lights up .took feed from the stork they both work now got to sort the rest of the dash lights . so the clocks light up .there is a switch that goes to the clock bulbs so got to check that out when i get time cheers
