Triumph Repair: flashers, turn signal, flashers


Question
Hi Jim,
I'm going mad with my triumph GT6 mk 3 1971, look for trouble in the flasher wiring. Warning operate well, Left side flashers also operate well, but right side are always lighted (no flash when ). When I start engine, it's a little bit better, right side blinks for a while then slow down and finaly stay fix (lighted)
Could you help ?

Answer
Herve,

First step is to remove the right side flashers (front and rear) and make sure the ground connections are ok.

If that doesn't solve the problem then it may be a problem with the turn signal switch.   If you're careful you can sometimes open the switch up and clean the contacts.   Be sure to regrease with dielectric grease after cleaning or you'll have problems again.


Cheers,

Jim
