R30 Skyline Indicator Problems

[CowboyBebop]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question: the indicators on my 1982 R30 Skyline have stopped flashing. To be more exact they still work, they just don't flash on and off like an indicator should.

I'm sure that this is something really basic to fix, its just that my technical knowledge is pretty non-existent and I'd really rather not have to take it to a mechanic to pay through the nose for what I'm guessing will take 10 minutes to fix.

So any suggestions as to what the problem is and any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Bryn

First of all check all the lights, for each side, come on when you turn on the flashers. Some load sensing flasher cans will flash at an increased rate with a blown globe, others will not flash at all, ie the lights just stay on.

If all your flasher lights are working the problem is more than likely a faulty flasher can.

Don't go to a mechanic if you can't sort it yourself, go to an auto electrician.

Cheers,

Topper

Do they still work on "Hazard"?

I've had some issues with the indicator stalk (switch) clogging up with dirt and stuff. I found I needed to jiggle it a bit to get the right connection to get the indicators working (only on one side). It's a relatively straight-forward job to remove the stalk assembly and give it a bit of a clean out in switch mechanism.

I just wanted to say thanks for the advice guys, cleaning the indicator stalk's connection behind the steering wheel did the track, so saves me a trip to the auto electrician.

Thanks again, Bryn
