bob654 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Am I blowing relays? Put on a new headlight today, when I connected the indicators they work, at the right time, together, as they should, but they don't flash any more. Did I short the relay when fiddling about reconnecting the wires? They sort of flashed a few times, not consistently , then / now they just light. I've ordered another relay, cos I'm pretty sure it has to be that. I would however, as well as confirmation it is the relay, like to know why . So I don't do it again. Cheers. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Three pin relay is pretty simple device - the two pins that have continuity when 'cold' / unconnected to anything will be 12v in and ground on other side. The remaining pin will go to 12v on and off and should go to the indicator switch to divert the switching volts to the left or right indicators. They are usually robust but nothing lives forever! 1 Quote Link to comment

davecara Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I very much doubt you've blown a relay but nothing's given. What bike/headlight/type of indicators are we using? 2 pin or 3 pin flasher relay? Quote Link to comment
bob654 Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Solved, I called it a relay, it is just a flasher unit and I simply toched crossed wires, while "hot", ( I think). Thank you. Quote Link to comment
