Headlights don't flash unless headlights are on ....

  1. Is that normal? How do I wave to my fellow campers I see on the road if I can't give 'em a flash?

    “…she's British through and through” Wasn’t it made in Germany?
     
  6. Mines the same! What year is yours?
     
  7. You know what I mean!
     
  8. Crossover 72/73, I wonder if that makes a difference?
     
  9. Same as mine then, maybe another one of those one year only quirks!

    Check you have a 5pin relay
    Check you have 12v at pin 30 on the relay (red wire) without the headlight on

    If not you can move the wire from pin 30 to a live feed and the flash will work with out the lights on
     
  20. :eek:
