I noticed it at lunch today. The blinker indicator in the dash would flash 4 or 5 times, then stop.
Coming home I tried the e-flashers. Same deal. Maybe 7 flashes then OUT. Try the left side, 2 flashes, right side 4 flashes.... then OUT. Now I get no flashes at all. Got a few honey do things to knockout this afternoon then I will start poking around. Figured I'd start with the fuse, then relay. Seeing how it is the flasher and the blinker, I will rule out the lever and such in the column. How do you test a relay anyway? Chime in with some thoughts. Thanks, Clark |

I have a similar but still different problem.
I installed Spokes front boards about a week ago. Now when I signal to turn left or right the tach indicator light only flashes once but the turn signals keep flashing as they should. If I turn on the emergency flasher then the indicator light flashes the whole time along with the turn signals. |

If I turn on the emergency flasher then the indicator light flashes the whole time along with the turn signals. Hi Mats, Do you have a single L-R tach turnsignal indicator or the separate L and R indicators? The indicator light not flashing is common when switching to LED turnsignals. Since the flasher has a dual function of turnsignal flasher and brake warning flasher, the C pin which drives the tachometer turnsignal indicators does not activate when the brake warning flasher function is used (ebrake or MC warning switch active). Thus when you change to LED turnsignals, the circuitry driving the C pin doesn't fully engage and thus doesn't flash when you put the L or R turnsignals on. For 4-way flashing, the load of all the LED turnsignals (Front and rear, right and left) is enough to activate the C-pin. Generic flasher EP26 is pin compatible with the 914's flasher. The difference is the C-pin is not functional in the off-the-shelf EP26. I have EP26 in stock and I modify EP26 to drive the C-pin. |
