[Healeys] wierd electrical problem

[warthodson at aol.com]

If not the battery, ground, connections, etc. mentioned in earlier posts, I
would suggest replacing the flasher unit to see if this is the source of your
turn signal mysteries. Several people in  our club have been having troubles
with the quality of the flasher units recently. Also, confirm that you have
the signal lights are wired correctly. I.E. The bright & dim elements have not
been reversed. It is easy to get them reversed & if the running light is
bright it will be difficult to see the brake light.

drove the bn6 in the dark for the first time in over a year and noticed that
my
ignal lights were inop with the headlights on.  investigated today and
iscovered that the brake lights do not work with lights on, either.  i tracked
ll the wiring and everything is by the book.  when the headlights and park
ights are off, the left signal is slow, the pilot light on dash works, but the
ight signal comes on very weak at the same time.  i can hear the signal
flasher
very click.  with the right signal on, there is no left signal at the same
ime, but the pilot light only flashes once, the flasher unit makes one click,
hen stops, and the right signal flashes at a faster rate than the left one.
he brake lights work fine when no headlights are on.   i ran out of time to
nvestigate further, but wondered if any electrical genius out there had any
dea of where to start.  new wiring harness, flasher relay unit on bulkhead and
ew lucas signal flasher during restoration.  hjim
