[Healeys] Indicator fault

[Michael]

Hi John,
The fact that all the indicator bulbs illuminate at the correct times indicates to me that everything is wired correctly and that the relay box is working correctly.
I would suspect that the current draw of the RHS bulbs is slightly different to that of the LHS bulbs.
The flasher units are very sensitive to current draw and won't flash or flash very quickly when the draw is not correct.
First check that the lamps are wired correctly with the higher current bulbs being used for the signals / brake lights.
Next try putting the LHS bulbs in the RHS to see if things change.
A word of caution....be very careful to avoid shorting the flasher output side to ground.... They are delicate units and it is easy to "let the smoke leak out".

Hi All

I am looking for some wisdom about an indicator problem. Unfortunately the wisdom in my garage is not up to the task.

My left hand indicator works perfectly. 

My right hand indicator lights both front and rear lights but does not blink.

I have followed the trouble shooting guide in the Workshop Manual but it does not cover this situation.

The flasher can appears to be OK as the LHS works normally.

I have connected the RHS wires of the Stop light relay as per the Workshop manual trouble shooting guide and there is no change.

I am at a lost at to what the problem is and the appropriate solution.

As all ways any help would be appreciated.
