Flasher Unit

Post by **Relfy** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 1:37 pm

Right, here is where Relfy looks like a total numbskull yet again...

You know on ESM on the page about flasher units....
http://shop.morrisminorspares.co.uk/adv ... f093e466c8

I'm guessing the one for Wilberforce (1969) is no. SWT106 (Push-On Connector Type), but what's that thing above?... SWT106A "Flasher Unit-Hazard Warning".
Its £1 more - is that a flasher unit which you can make do hazard lights? If so I'd like mine to be able to do that, but am not sure what to do with it.....

(My problem at the moment is outside indicators that flash too fast most of the time but not all (they always flash, but sometimes they start slow and build up to being fast!!), and a stalk light that sometimes works but mostly doesn't)

I'll leave the units to someone else, but I'd be having a look at the connectors under the glovebox to try and sort out the stalk. They can corrode or pull loose.

you can have hazard lights from a normal flasher unit, of course you need the hazard switch or unit.

this will work with ignition off as well will try and find a wiring diagram, although it is fairly easy.

hi you need SWT106A

Hi, thanks. Um... I'll see if I can work it out from a search. I remember people talking about it before....

You dont mean under the glove-box - as in 'behind-under' i hope? I dont want to have to take that off again. i did look at the connections on the switch though (took the steering wheel off, then the housing etc) and it looks ok to me. Bit mucky but not bad.
Had to turn it round a bit because the people who did my tracking only adjusted one side so the steering wheel was then wonky and the indicators weren't self-cancelling - so now my indicator stalk is pointing towards my rear-view mirror! (Stalk has always been on the left). I would've taken it back and been obstreperous (my dyslexic sister told me to stop being that once - much to my amazement! (mostly as I didn't know what it meant)), but that was in North Wales and somehow I never found a moment to do it.

... i can't get the green doobry-wotsit off the end of the stalk to look in there.

Mine have a bunch of bullet connectors under the glove box liner, resting on the metal shelf, and it's those I've had trouble with before now. Taking the greeen hoodad off is the main reason for them breaking - they seem to weld themselves to the black bit so that the threaded bit breaks when you try to undo them, but checking the little bulb would be the best place to start. Bet you'll need a new green bit though

Relfy, see my PM.

i know the bulb is ok cos it does flash once or twice every now and then...but you're right it might be a connection somewhere. When the weekend comes I'll actually have some daylight to have a look.

Roll on summer! Everything is so grey at the moment and I'm getting so low! - apart from not being able to do anything to the car cos its black by the time i get home.

Relfy, see my PM.

Thanks Cam! I can always count on you to know what the answer is I'm looking for! I'll put me order in pronto!

Is it top secret, then?

, BTW - I know it's NOMB

Post by **Relfy** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 5:17 pm

No - I need to get the normal one to solve my immediate problem. Cos the other one is ASWELL AS - a seperate circuit. That's what I wanted to know.

Hoorah!

NOMB? Oh None Of My Business. Yes it is - you might need to know someday! .... but something tells me you already do.

Post by **bigginger** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 5:21 pm

Well. I can guess - and hope I'm right

Post by **Relfy** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 5:24 pm

You dont need to guess! I told you three posts up from here!

Post by **bigginger** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 6:05 pm

I think I understand... I'll shut up now.

Post by **Relfy** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 6:08 pm

..hmm..

Post by **Cam** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 7:19 pm

Sorry BigG, it's just that I replied to Relfy's PM before I saw the post and could not be bothered to write it twice!

No big secret or anything!

I know, I know - just teasing

Oddly enough Wilbereforce's indicators work better now the flasher unit has been replaced however the green light (on the stick) only works when the wheel is just off centre

and doesn't work if the wheel is aimed straight ahead. Must be a loose connection somewhere/somehow but the steering wheel position shouldn't be able to cause a problem like that! Oh what fun
