Help please with indicator problem Honda scooter By today (Read 339 times)

[today]

Hi, we had to replace 4 indicators after vandalism to the scooter. Got universal indicators and replace exactly as per old ones. Problem
If for example right indicator is on the relay makes bad noise, when disconnect the front indicator also on right then the rear indicator works, same gos if you disconnect the front one then the rear works fine. This works for left or right. When only the rear is on the the familiar clicking sound can be heard (front globe out). As soon as front and rear is on the relay makes almost humming noise and rear will come on and front will glow weird but the do not flicker. Relay sounds like oscillating weird.

Thanks

What watt bulbs do you have in there? Sounds like wrong watt bulbs or are the LEDS?

Ah Now that make sense, it is the bulbs that came with the indicators, but i am waiting for my son to bring original bulbs, good point I will check and make sure i get correct bulbs...thanks will check it out tomorrow, public holiday here today...

LEDs often require a resistor wired into the circuit in order to trigger the flasher unit, they do also make flashers designed for LED lights specifically.

Or buy a digital flasher unit and plug it in,,,, they will flash no matter what you run,,, you can run one led and one incandescent ,, two LEDs ,,, or any combo,,, even if one bulb blows out it will still flash
