[TR] TR250 emergency flashers

[Dave]

The red/purple wire provides the power to the relay and the flasher -
but only when the flasher switch is in the correct position.  If the
flashers work with the jumper then the wire from the switch is good so
all you need to do is fix the wire to the flasher.  I don't know the
relative locations of those two parts on a TR250 but on a TR6 they are
pretty close together.  It should not be too big a pain to open up the
harness and fix the wire.  However, it is more likely the problem is at
the connection points so start there.

There is a special harness tape that has no adhesive.  You need a bit
of electrical tape at each end to keep it from unraveling.  Since there
is no adhesive the wires can shift about inside the wrap which makes it
possible to manipulate the harness and conform it to the route it must
take.  If you wrap a harness with electrical tape it will be too stiff
for that.  You can buy harness tape from British Wire.

Hi,

The emergency flashers on my wife's TR250 don't work.  I was looking at
the wiring diagram.

There is a Purple and Red wire that goes from the Hazard Switch to the
Hazard Relay to the Hazard Flasher.  The wire goes back into the wiring
harness between the relay and the flasher.

If I connect a jumper from the purple and red terminal on the flasher
to
the purple and red terminal on the relay, the flasher work fine.

I would like to fix this without an extra wire hanging loose.

Does anyone know if the purple and red wire from the hazard relay to
the
hazard flasher just goes into the harness and comes back out? The
diagram doesn't show it going anywhere else.

How difficult would it be to unwrap the harness find and fix the break
in the wire (assuming that is what the problem is) and wrap it back up
and have it look right?

What is used for the wrapping?  I believe it should be something
besides
electrical tape.

Thanks
Roger Elliott
