[TR] 1972 Triumph TR6 - blinker problem

[Peter Arakelian]

As I said before.  the incandescent bulbs provide a ballast, extra resistance on the circuit, that stops the bleed through the trafficator indicator to the other bulbs.  Extra bonus, the front bulbs may light more brightly since they can draw more - mine did.

This makes no sense to me.  Apparently in the last few weeks I replaced the front bulbs with LEDs.  The rear already had them.



Replacing the front bulbs with analog bulbs fixed the problem, and, as a bonus, the green trafficator light is now working.  I haven’t seen that for years.



Now the blinkers work as they should.
