Hi again

Am I right that I can wire up hazards/indicators using only one flasher unit as long as it's described as being 2-4 21w + 5w which I take it means either two or 4 indicators plus side repeaters?

Just confused as some layouts so seperate indicator and hazard flasher units.

Cheers for putting up with more daft questions.

Cheers
Nigel

i think that it depends upon whether you have an early or late set of switch gear. i started off and wired the wrong one, lots of problems untill i realised the error DOH!!!!!!!

i hope i have understood the question correctly? but i have one flasher unit and run both car and bike bulbs ok.

indicators are 2x 21W + 5W per side. Hazards do both sides at once, so 4 x 21W + 5W. A single relay can do both.

Here's how it works:

12V permenant and 12V from the ignition key go to the switches. If the Hazzards are off, the ignition is fed to the flasher relay, otherwise the permenant is fed to the flasher.

The flasher relay turns on and off repeatedly. This "flashing" voltage is fed back to the switches. The indicator switches it to one side or the other. The hazzard switch feeds it to both sides. The bulbs are then connected to ground.

You only need one relay.

many thanks for the explaination I can now crack on and order my flasher relay

Thanks again
Nigel
