Hi all. Since having my bus painted, I can't get my indicators to work and I think its down to my side ones. The light on the dash just stays green and no bulbs light up???? Does anyone have a pic of the set up of the side indicators? Maybe I'm missing something???
Usually an indication of a duff flasher relay, or possibly a bad earth or short. See if the 12v wire on the side repeater is grounded with a multi-meter or change the relay
Ahh you have the little jobbies on the b posts too then, Gusbus our '73 has them!! As stevem says, check the relay - the little indicator unit itself only has one wire feeding from the main front indicators, up the windscreen piller, across the roof and down, the other part of the metal base makes the earth up. Could it be that some of the wiring is damaged causing the problem
Just jogged my memory this has lol Mark ill post you them repeaters once ive finished moving house Dude give your relay a tap on the side with the handle of a screwdriver to see if you can kick the relay into life If it aint the relay then id imagine its a poor contact or wiring breaking down The side repeating indicators on italian and dutch busses has a live feed through a black wire that terminates in a brass fitting and earths through the bodywork Ive welded mine up as i couldent find any repros to fit I wish someone would do repros of them as they are a usefull addition in my opinion
Para dont worry mate, next time our paths cross!! You can get repro ones, they 50 euros a pair from italy, I have the guys name somewhere
Heres the name of the guy - samba1967auto; heres a link to his ebay shop: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-BUS-T1T2-BULLI-LENTELAMPEGGIATORE-LATERALE-FRECCIA-/310326947512?pt=Ricambi_automobili&hash=item4840ed6eb8 not as good as Hella but seeing how rare Hella are, you can be too choosy!
Much Googling on a rainy Saturday.... These are the Hella ones, 2BA001-227-211 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Hella-Blinkleuchte-Blinker-Oldtimer-Traktor-Bulldog-Schlepper-2BA001-227-211-/130603926347
Well mine look nothing like either of these 2 parts, They're definately Hella, but there's no part numbers on them In Ideas?? Cheers
I guess one possibility is that they got removed due to damage and replaced with an alternative part or Hella redesigned them and updated the part number? Due to the rarity of the originals it understandable!
Well, For thse interested....VW - N77 82 00 518, Hella - 2BM 001 313-001 http://www.ebay.de/itm/Hella-Blinkleuchte-Design-Blinker-Oldtimer-Traktor-KFZ-/190578760809?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item2c5f611c69
The earlybay had the small style indicators right under the belt line. You may find the early style at German Ebay under Zusatzblinkleuchte. The latebay style can be seen at Microfiche 100-00 part# 5 which is a totally different style. Not sure though at which height those indicators were installed. Any of you guys have a photo of this unit installed? I have tried different positions before I make the installation. I don't really want to drill the pillar before i am 100% positive of the exact height
