Tinycators

[steviej]

Just replaced one of the Tinycators but it keeps blowing the fuse:confused:

Any ideas........................I'm off for a look now!!

I suppose that the obvious one is that its shorting out,
would it be possible to isolate (disconnect) an indicator at a time, this will make the indicator flash twice as fast but it might show where the fault lies,
do you have resistors in parralell to the lamps.
If it was ok before check that all has gone back the way it came out, trapped wires in head lamp/under the seat,
is the lamp polarity sensitive, swap the wires over

Buy an M900

Ade, it definately the one I've just changed but I can't see anything obvious.............as yet:confused:



Why would I need to buy a M900:D :D

[Ade]

Why did you have to change the old one?

well if you had a 900 the indicators would work!
Ill just loosen my collar while I put me ead on the block

[steviej]

DON'T YOU JUST HATE THAT..............................:mad: :mad: :mad:




All I've done is re-route the wire, reconnect, tested, rumbled around the block, and...................It's OK :confused: :confused:



touch wood :D

[Ade]

it might be worth having a second look, if it went once it could be good to find the fault in your time not when out and about.

[Tigerlily]

Don't worry about it Stevie.....they're so small no-one can see your indicators anyway!

I've just noticed that the lens is missing from one of mine grrrrrrr, I'll bet you can't buy replacement lenses. God, it's one thing after another.

[steviej]

Karl, what sort of indicator is it ??

[DesmoDog]

its a Motrax mcro arrow head - I think. Just seen the price of em and now I'm not so annoyed, well I am. Bits just keep falling off.

[steviej]

Sorry matey, can't help you there.......................................... :rolleyes:

[DesmoDog]

Now I'm really pissed off - went to take her out this morning after a week of no use and the blody battery is flat. My opti mate rekons its !!!!ed as well, well sick.

[pooh]

I can't work out if you have sorted out the fuse blowing problem but if not try changing the wires round some aftermarket indicators have an earth through the mounting bolt so if you get the wires arse about face it blows the fuse. Just a thought as I managed to do it with the ones I fitted.
