it may be a dodgy bulb holder or bad earth connection worth checking
Not sure as testing these ones with test bulb on hanging wires, , it works on both rear sidelights and Drivers Indicator but Not Passenger .it may be a dodgy bulb holder or bad earth connection worth checking
I can check both ends to where they enter chassis at each end so if its inside chassis can't get to it. How do I check with meter ?Have you excess to both ends to check there no break in that wire or it's shorting to ground your meter is the best option
Thanks sorted wires got all 4 working on test bulb But when plugged back into Flasher there is nothing no power no noise, do you think flasher us knackered with all the testing ect ? It is a brand new LucasDon't give up now there's light at the end of the tunnel or is is it some Pratt with a torch Relax it's a Land Rover ,just check flasher circuit remove flasher unit connections and link the wires that went to the X and L terminals this should
cause the lights to remain on the side selected by the indicator stalk and allow you to check your connections etc View attachment 272899
All my local shop had in was this cheap one. , It works the Indicators but depending where I put plugs can only get either working with warning light on in cab and no bulbs working outside, OR bulbs flashing outside and no warning light inside,Look like it they do make a electronic 3 tab version more reliable than the bi-metal type such as https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/3-pin...Fc5NzL5yrFyKJWlxVVKbseJiZADkx_yRoCDPEQAvD_BwE or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17537065...35eH5cF4ToGeQzjh0_EWL_sKnSXAs-axoCZvYQAvD_BwE the second being free postage I would fit the indicator lamps and test again before fitting flasher unit
Thanks Do I need to Earth it ?
Thanks will order one of those you mentioned, but will use this one untill it comes.yes the unit is need 12volt for the electronics'
Think I will order a couple of these to save all the hassle , Land Rover Series Military Screw Lens Side Indicator Single Pole Bulb – embertonimperial that rusty one in pic might work if I clean it up.you can get 21 watt single filament double contact bulbs but not sure but I believe the holders you have are staggered pins if they are parallel pinned https://www.ebay.com/itm/231832612755 these do not have staggered pin
you basically wire the earth to one contact and the feed to the other . the other alternative is to use a double filament bulb and only wire the 21 watt side .
in America they use the both filaments the 5 watt lit by the side circuit and the 21 watt flashes when indicating not sure that is legal in the UK
Thanks will leave them at top on rear. Thanks for link, just wondering if they will fit in to the rubber sleevesI've seen them in both positions indicators at the top more clearly seen https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/39226238...4Gm8gJYKH0qvjlM6oEVhGjab2Fk-7hV3s9e6-kaAreFEA
Wil order 2 of these then, wil this flasher be ok ? as can order from same place.same lamp holder used on MINI ,MORRIS, AUSTIN ETC
