Laughing Thumbs Up

Are they LED jobbies? I know they require a certain amount of current but not sure whether they would mess about with electrics further down the line.

Nah just little ones. The indies work fine, it's everything else that is knackered.

Could be you have not replaced a earth lead somewhere.
I would have a good look at all the wiring around where you were working to see if you may have pulled a connection apart as well.

If you can't see anything odd then removing your new indicators from the power and see if everything else works OK again. Just because they work does not mean that they are not the problem.

Yeah sorry that was a bit rude wasn't it. Embarassed

What I meant was more what iooi said, that when wiring in the indys you have knocked something else out of place.

Sounds to me like you may have accidentally bypassed a switch or something.

If you disconnect your indys is it still all wrong?

Normally I'd say that that is next to impossible, but if I remember correctly, triumph has odd wiring, i.e. just absolutely every circuit goes through a single humungous and mysterious ECU. If that's the case, first thing I'd do is to put the old ones back on and hope for the best.

It is worth while checking the bulb rating match, though.

It has randomly fixed it's self Confused I think the bike has a mind of her own. Maybe that was her way of telling me she didn't like them.

As said above, you have knocked something. Re check all the wires especially the earth wires.
