Indicators not quite working (but so close!!)
Hi all,
many thanks for yesterdays help, I'm sure I'm getting there, I've got the right relay now, but when i turn on the hazzard it goes nuts,
and then spurts out one flash every couple of seconds.
when i try and turn the indicator on using the stalks, i get nothing.
The ford circuit is shown below, and below that is mine.
is it simply a case of making my indicator lighting circuit the same as ford. (i dont see how this would make a major differance?) or are my stalks
cream crakered?
many thanks in advance

You need to post up a full circuit diagram for us to analyse it properly. In theory there is nothing you have done wrong with the indicators. However,
that's not the problem is it - the problem is when you integrate the hazard circuit. I tried doing it with a seperate hazard circuit but you
need to add diodes to the indicator +'ives to stop positive feeding back into the indicator flasher unit causing your problem.
Ford have used one flasher unit, you are trying to use two - K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) There is a very obvious reason for this.. and you are
discovering it.

A small point, and probably nothing to do with your problem - you have the tell tale in series with the main indicator. It needs to go in parallel
like the top circuit.

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

nope I'm only using one unit now like the ford system. same problem, thanks for the info though I'm going to try with the tell tales in
parralell 2moro and see how that goes.
any more ideas anyone?

Here is what I used, Ignore the fuse number as this went to a kawasaki fuse box.
