Simon Daymond Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Could someone please give me an idiot proof idea of how to wire a flasher unit? The indicators on the miltant don't flash, they just stay on, so I'm assuming that the 'flasher can' is U/S? If I get another, what wire should go where?

0 N.O.S. Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If you get a DURITE flasher unit Simon, they come boxed with a good wiring diagram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 N.O.S. Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Is the Militant 24V? Do you have a hazard switch? Negative earth? Towing trailer? The flasher unit goes between ign switch and indicator switch. Wiring varies with unit, but typical numbers on flasher unit terminals might be: 49 feed from ign switch 49a feed out to indicator switch (or hazard sw) 31 earth Lots of choice out there. For the Autocar (24v, towing a trailer) I'm using a combination of Durite 0-744-45 flasher unit with a Hella 6HF 001 579-052 Hazard switch (hidden under a U.S. dash lamp dome :-D) Once you get the 2 wiring diagrams for these units it all makes sense! I hope it works ok....:shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Simon Daymond Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Militant is 24v, no hazard switch, is negative earth, and will hopefully tow a trailer someday. The indicator switch is on a square box, on top of which is mounted the warning light for the vehicle indicators, along with one for the trailer. The cylindrical flasher can is mounted inside. I tried to wire another flasher unit up, but quite frankly I didn't have a clue, the unit was second hand, but only had the markings C1, C2 and W1 on the bottom. I don't know whether the unit is U/S or if I simply hadn't wired it up properly. Edited April 20, 2009 by Simon Daymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Simon Daymond Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 got the flashers to work. Handy tip.. use a flasher unit, not a relay! I thought I was using a flasher can, turns out it was a relay, it worked in a fashion, but that was why the lights were on permanently.
