Indicators not flashing just staying lit

[yaristurbo]

Hi I'm helping a mate restore a bedford cf camper

We're getting cracked on bit I cannot work out why his indicators will only light up and not flasher

It's had a brand new flasher can and still the same

He has after market rear clusters and I'm not 100% on working out the correct watts these should be

As I'm writing this more ideas are popping in to my head on why but all input is grately recieved

Thanks team

I've had brand a couple brand new flasher relays not work in the past. Can really fuck you up as your sure its not that

Been thinking he has put brand new bulbs in it and didn't look what wattage they were so now I'm thinking is it a current draw issue??

You just using a 2 pin flasher relay? Make sure you have power going to it from ignition supply would t have thought the watts should be an issue really. Should be 21w in there

Yes power and earth to it, think its 2x25w which I'm thinking it will need 50w or more to draw the correct current to operate??? Or am I thinking too much ?

You could test it with side light bulbs first if you want. But does sound like you need to get a 50w relay for it. Pretty basic the indicator relays with 2 pins. Not a lot you can get wroung
