LED indicators
Hi,
Probably been asked numerous times however I’m new to the forum.
I have a 2008 1250 Bandit and replaced the original indicators with LED which have transistors in built. I have fitted them however they all work well until I wire the clocks back up. Once I do this the indicators present like there’s limited current. Has anyone ever encountered this problem ???
Cheers

Re: LED indicators
Hi,
Think you mean resistors. Resistors can be used to increase the load of a device or they can be used to drop the voltage applied to the device
Limited current - you mean they are not very bright, glow softly ?. Low voltage- usually a result of high resistance.
Total load may be dropping voltage too much
May not have needed the built in Resistor type.
If you have a multi meter, disconnect all blinkers, connect clocks, turn on blinkers & check voltage at blinker connections. If good, ie 12v that's good. Connect 1 & check voltage, 2 redo 3 redo. If voltage drops off as you connect more, resistance is increasing, dropping voltage.
