Car Forum / MINI / June 2004Mini Flasher Unit
Hi, I've been advised that my indicator fault could be the Flasher Unit (indicator relay). I have included a picture that shows the case and the insides of the unit. The arrows point towards 'scorch's marks. http://www.aouh43.dsl.pipex.com/flasher.jpg Do you think this is the probable cause to my indicators/hazards not working? If this is the likely problem, anybody have any advice where to find a replacement? Regards, Dave Yep, Looks like you have found the fault, any good auto electric shop should have it in stock, or even Maplins,,, its amazing what they have in stock, Fitzy > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.708 / Virus Database: 464 - Release Date: 18/06/2004 > Looks like you have found the fault, > any good auto electric shop should have it in stock, > or even Maplins,,, its amazing what they have in stock, > > Fitzy Good! Does it have to be the same model? Cheers, Dave any good motor factor should be able to supply you with one. > http://www.aouh43.dsl.pipex.com/flasher.jpg > Do you think this is the probable cause to my indicators/hazards not > working?

Any three pin 12 V flasher can with the right pin arrangement should be completely interchangable. Buy a more expensive one, the real cheapies are real cheap - and nasty. you can easily test the flasher unit by putting in series a 12 volts source connected to the 1 pin of the flasher unit then the other connector to a bulb then returning to the other pole of the battery. but before doing so, play with your hazard switch then try your flasher, the harzard might be the cause.

I agree, about the hazard switch, infact its always the first thing I do, switch the hazards on and off about 6 or 8 times, this cleans the contacts within the switch and sometimes cures the fault, Fitzy , > you can easily test the flasher unit by putting in series a 12 volts > source connected to the 1 pin of the flasher unit then the other [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >completely interchangable.

The photograph clearly shows a 3 pin flasher can... |
