[TR] Fw: TR3A turn indictors

[Ibsen Dow]

I want to thank all of those that responded to my e mail request. The problem
turns out to be a defective (new one) flasher. The defective unit works to
operate the turn indicators, but the circuit to the bulb on the dash must be
weak, because it only flashes once and then goes out.
The simple test that Randall suggested earlier on testing the circuit help
eliminate the problem. After replacement of another new one, I am back to
being somewhat sane again!

Thanks all,

I have a problem, that I have never encountered before in my 40 years owning
TRs.

The turn indicator light on the dash that turns yellow when in operation, for
some reason only lights one blink for either side, and quickly stops blinking.
However, the turn signal lights front and rear for either side continues to
operate normally. What gives? I have changed out the flasher unit on the
firewall with a new one and it still does the same thing. The wire harness is
brand new as this is a fresh resto on this car.

Any insight would be appreciated...as I know this is small problem, but I
can't seem to figure it out, which has me perplex.
