INDICATORS

Another indicator problem, they work fine with lights on,soon as stop lights on they stop.Ihave put 10w bulbs in,i need to get the m.o.t done next week,can't wait to get her on road,but she won't pass like it is

Thanks Ian

are you saying that the indicators wont work with out the engine running
reason your battery is not got enough power in it answer fit new battery

They do work with the engine off, but when running and brake light on they stop .

Also it has a new battery 6v 4ah.

You have an earth leakage. Check the lighting circuit, (wiring) and make sure you have good earth at every point. Even though you have a connector screwed onto the frame doesn't mean it's ok. Remove and clean with fine sandpaper and see if that sorts it out.

Process of elimination.....

Ok thanks for all the information,will give it a try.

Regards Ian

Indicators do go dim or stop working when stop light is on, problem is battery cant cope with both. As long as indicators work WITHOUT stop light on it will pass MoT. Engine should be running when tested. As 3hundredspartons says, a good earth connection is vital. A larger capacity battery would help but space is the problem unless you put it in a top box.

Thanks John, i was told that indicators must work with brake light, i will book her in for test

Cheers
