Hi List:
I'm working on a friend's Bugeye (with a Speedwell Bonnet).
I'm trying to re-wire the rear turn signals with a 100-4 Turn signal relay.
Why am I doing this? Because my friend doesn't want to cut holes in his
bonnet for front turn signals, and without 4 bulbs (2 on each side)
blinking, the turn signal flasher doesn't work. (Not enough resistance?)
So, I thought I'd try to re-wire it so he'd have BOTH the top and bottom
bulbs on the back of the Bugeye either solid (with brakes) or flashing (with
the turn signals).
However, when I wire in the TS Relay (as on my BN2), the flasher unit still
doesn't flash correctly (it sort of flashes but very quickly when I put an
additional load of 1 more light bulb on the circuit).
Who can explain to me how a flasher unit works and how it's affected by the
load of multiple light bulbs, and is there a way to measure how much load is
required and can I wire in some resistors or something to emulate more
bulbs?
How's that for a conundrum?
