    Blinkers

    Hey all,

    I just wired up some new carbon fibre blikers, just ate through a few 7.5 fuses and 10 fuses, works on 15.0 fuse, BUT after 3 seconds on the blinkers working it quit, any ideas ?

    Could I have just fried my blinker relay?

    Sounds to me like you've got a short between the flasher unit and the indicators which keeps blowing your 7.5 fuses,by putting the 15 in it you may have moved the weak link & now you've blown the flasher.If you haven't changed anything else check inside the indicators as some of these cheaper units have sharp metal edges inside & questionable wiring conections.I have come across this before.Some times the indicators still work & its hard to trace the short but it only takes one strand of stray wire.I may be off the mark here but It's worth the check.
