General Indicators

[Fiat1112]

Can anyone send me a link for what relay I need for LED indicators please?

To stop them flashing fast ect

Haven't got a clue

Thank you

they are flashing fast cuz bulb is blown

Apparently modern cars do not use a flasher relay, the body computer controls the indicator flashing. You'll need to put resistors in each indicator bulb circuit.

Normally a fast blinker is caused by a blown bulb, have you checked all the bulbs?

But he said they're LED, that means they don't have enough wattage for the flasher controller to flash them at the right speed. So they need resistors, no?

Punto indicators are body computer controlled
NO RELAYS

It requires 2x 21w and 1x5w in the setup to not trigger bulb malfunction light and for correct speed of 60-120flashes a minute for UK mot regs


Leds draw tiny amount of wattage, as a result they flash fast and will activate bulb malfunction

Getting leds to work correctly will require decent resisitor packs....
Imo.. ""duck"" em just use the correct bloody bulbs...

Also, installing the correct wattage resistors results in the power being dissipated in a form of heat, so the leds will draw the same ammount of power as the bulbs... So if you installed leds to save power, then it was superfluous. Same for sidelights.
