Title: blinker problem Post by: FC-V8 on December 01, 2004, 10:36:05 PM Hi all
I have finished rewiring my wagon but I am having a problem with the blinkers in the dash. All the front & back blinkers work properly but the dash blinker lights up on both sides when ever the blinkers are on.

Where abouts was your bad earth as I have checked & all seems to be ok. But i will check them again. Glenn Title: Re: blinker problem Post by: Graeme on December 02, 2004, 12:44:35 AM G'day Glenn,
I cleaned up around the back of the instrument panel, earth wires on the globes themselves, and redid through to the steering column and all four corners, then it all seemed to work ok. I will go back through my notes tonite when i get home and see if i made a bit of a diagram of what i did to fix it and send it to you.

This is a very common problem on Holdens up to HR, with the 3 pin blinker can, The dash globes have no earth, they earth through the front blinker globes. You will fix the problem by just fitting a new blinker can Dr Terry. Title: Re: blinker problem Post by: FC-V8 on December 06, 2004, 11:03:34 PM Dr Terry
Your diagnosis was correct. I inplated the new part & now the patient is functioning correctly unlike it's owner. Cheers Glenn |
