Default Indicator relay

Hey guys,

Been reading up on some previous wiring posts as im having trouble with the rear tail brake light/indicator wires...

In this post by dirtjunky_UK



Dave identifies the red, black and yellow wire as the indicator relay wire and connector.

This is a picture of my wiring situation (2001 EC 300)



Im wondering if the black, orange and yellow wire is the indicator relay wires? Just missing the connector?

Final question.

What voltage is the indicator circuit, would i be able to purchase something like this?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-FLASHE...item415c7589d7

Being 12v could i just wire it up?

Thanks guys

Tom

Yes, Yellow,Orange,Black are for the turn signal relay.
You will need the Lionelli AC switch if you have not converted
you bike to DC. I have that pictured on another thread.
"How to go DC" or something like that. You could use an
automotive switch and just mess with the wiring till it works.
It must be AC though, and I think most aftermarket
switches will be DC.

Jeff,

Really appreciating your help and input

As it stands, i have not converted the bike to DC. And if that's what it takes to get LED indicators to work properly i might not bother.

I've found a set of 4 indicators (bulb type) on evilbay for about 8GBP which, i think is pretty reasonable, so i assume this will work ok with an AC relay?

As for the leonelli flasher unit, is this the only AC unit out there? And do i HAVE to use AC with bulb type indicators?

Thanks

Tom

Incandescent light bulbs don't care if 12V is AC or DC. LEDs need DC I believe.
I would assume somebody makes an AC turn signal flasher relay other than
Lionelli. I do not know of any myself.
On the pictures I showed is how I had to move the wires in the connector to
go from the three pole Lionelli flasher to the three pole DC auto flasher.
If you have more Q: send me a PM and I will try as best as I can.
I am not an authority on the subject for sure.
Jeff

An incandescent lamp works on AC and DC. LEDs also work on AC, they just aren't as bright as on DC. If they don't work on AC it's because the LED light might have additional circuitry in it. The only trouble with AC is the flasher unit itself. The flasher timing is set correct for DC and you will get odd results with AC.
