| I have a 1968 westy. I'm having problems with my indicators. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Is this a problem with my relay or could it be something else? If it is the relay, where is the relay situated and which relay for this year do I need to replace it? Thanks Dave :? |

they are not supposed to work all the time, but work, not work, work, not work... they are blinkers :) no , but seriously though. do your emergency flashers work? or just not the turn signals? |

When they aren't working do they stay on steady or do nothing at all? Do both bulbs on that side do something/nothing? Any change when you step on the brakes? Any change if it's wet out? Do all 4 bulbs flash when the hazards are on?
You may have a variety of relays depending on what month your bus was built and if any rewiring has ben done, 2-3 terminals on your hazard switch or 8-10? |

Also what have you done thus far to fix the problem?
Grounds?
Bulbs?
Tested for correct voltage a the socket?
Flasher good? |

In general, things to check, in rough order of probability (assuming the rest of the bus works OK):
1) grounds on tail light sockets
2) corrosion of tail light sockets
3) same above, front indicator sockets
4) bad, corroded, wrong sized or cross-wired bulbs
5) emergency flasher switch coming apart
6) flasher module
7) turn signal switch failing
8} general turn signal wiring decrepidation
9) supply fuses
10) ignition switch
11) evil spirits (you're on your own with this one...) |
