LED indicators erratic flash rate.

Sounds like the resistors might be overheating. Working fine when cool then changing the flash rate as they heat up. Swapping the relay is always a better option

New LED compatible indicator relay arrived and duly fitted. Out of interest I tried the indicators before taking out the resistors and they all worked perfectly. No amount of twiddling of connectors and resistors could replicate the erratic flash rate problems I was having so it seems that the relay was the problem.

I was tempted to leave the resistors in for a passing moment but got over it and took them all out which meant that I got to use my lovely crimp tool where I had to change from male to female and vice versa.

I guess my advice would be to forget fitting resistors and go straight to the LED compatible indicator relay from the start. Makes for a prettier installation as well!

Thanks all,

Mark
