Ra23 light problems

[viccelicara23]

I am nearing completion of my car have found that the hazards work perfectly fine but when i switch the indicators on they just come on and don't blink. I have also found that the lights stay on when i turn the ignition off. Also another issue is that the parkers won't turn off.

I have tried switch a number of things between my parts car including
indicator cam
Tail light relay
voltage regulator
indicator stalk

what could be causing this. Also when i flick the indicator to go right the left rear but right fron comes on and vice versa. And headlightys and high beam work normally

What could be causing this.

Hi,

Firstly, when the hazards are on I assume all relevant indicator bulbs flash? If so, then we caqn exclude blown bulbs. If a bulb is not lighting up, then replace it.

That fixes part of your problem, as it seems you have wired your loom incorrectly somewhere. I'd check through the loom from the switch to the bulbs. I think you may have, in the rear section, got your left and right indicators mixed up.

Parkers are the same... it seems like you have got them conencted to a permanently active voltage, bypassing the switch.

Check my rides thread "Turbo Trini" and go back a few pages to find a cct diagram that Hack put into my thread. Use this to check your wires and make sure you got the right coloured wires conencted according to the cct diagram.

All of my above problems are now fixed but i hav a new one. When the head lights are on the indicators wont flash, they come on but wont flash. I have checked over the wiring i have touched and it is all good.

How well is your battery charged?

This will probably sound dumb, but I had a little Corolla that had charging issues, and when everything was at its limit, the blinker would come on, but wouldn't flash... it was almost like it didn't have enough electrical "grunt" in the system to make the flasher flash.

I am sure I am talking out my ass now, but just a thoughT!

yeah when the headlights are off it does work which is strange. i might have a better look at the headlight indicator relay that airfireman1 was talking about. The battery was fully charged.

HI brendan
just double check the indicator/ headlight switch assembly
we had that exact same problem with the club car, and thats what it turned out to be along with a couple of bad earth connections ,
do you have a multi meter ?

[viccelicara23]

Thanks everybody for your help.
