Hi John,
The fact that all the indicator bulbs illuminate at the correct times indic=
ates to me that everything is wired correctly and that the relay box is wor=
king correctly.
I would suspect that the current draw of the RHS bulbs is slightly differen=
t to that of the LHS bulbs.
The flasher units are very sensitive to current draw and won't flash or fla=
sh very quickly when the draw is not correct.
First check that the lamps are wired correctly with the higher current bulb=
s being used for the signals / brake lights.
Next try putting the LHS bulbs in the RHS to see if things change.
A word of caution....be very careful to avoid shorting the flasher output s=
ide to ground.... They are delicate units and it is easy to "let the smoke =
leak out".

Hi All

I am looking for some wisdom about an indicator problem. Unfortunately the =
wisdom in my garage is not up to the task.

My left hand indicator works perfectly.=20

My right hand indicator lights both front and rear lights but does not blin=
k.

I have followed the trouble shooting guide in the Workshop Manual but it do=
es not cover this situation.

The flasher can appears to be OK as the LHS works normally.

I have connected the RHS wires of the Stop light relay as per the Workshop =
manual trouble shooting guide and there is no change.

I am at a lost at to what the problem is and the appropriate solution.

As all ways any help would be appreciated.

Regards
