Re: One Little Flashing Light

Sounds like a good clean up and checking of all terminals and connectors might clear this issue up. Check that both sides are wired the same way. Check the wattage on your flasher unit and ensure the total wattage per side for the flasher unit match the bulbs used. Cheap bulbs also can upset things as they aren't the wattage the claim to be. (Learnt that one the hard way). Check the indicator switch contacts are clean. Bad connections can reduce the voltage and become a bigger problem.

Depending on location I don't mind looking. Either that or email me clear photos of the lamp holder wiring side by side and I will see if I can spot anything if you are still struggling.
