Indicator problem

[eddclarke]

Hi
I fitted some aftermarket indicators to my FZ6, all went well, they work fine but now when i press my hazard lights switch they flash once and stop, then the indicators wont work till i switch the ignition off and on again.
Really got me confused....any ideas?

loose connection somewhere or not installed properly , thats all i can think off oh or a dodgy buld

Or possibly the way that the indicators are wired when in hazard mode changes the resistance of the circuit to the extent that the standard flasher can won't run them. I'm assuming that the new indicators don't use the standard bulbs.

Do the indicators work OK when indicating left or right? If they flash faster or slower than before then the internal resistance has changed and as Phil_P said, in hazard mode this might be screw up the flasher unit.

You have to fit a load resistance to LED indicators for this very reason.

they seem to flash at the normal rate, and work just fine when indicating, just when you press the hazard lights nothing happens, then the indicators stop working till you turn the ignition back off and on again
