Just about finished rewiring. However, the FB had one flasher can for the indicators. The new wiring loom has two flasher cans. Can anyone tell me whether I can just connect the two flasher cans to the yellow cable from the steering column? Or should I be doing something else?
Cheers,
Aaron

Re: Rewiring - indicators
is it one flasher can for indicators and one for hazard lights ? Need some wiring diagrams to figure this one out ......
I would try wiring it up with one flasher can and see what happens

I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

That hadn't even occurred to me Blacky - thanks for the tip. I'll try it out and see what happens.

Re: Rewiring - indicators
What loom did you use? I'll back it in its one for indicators and one for hazards. Was looking at a mates loom he just bought and it had similar, should be listed in the instructions though.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

Re: Rewiring - indicators
It's an EZ wiring kit. The instructions don't mention hazard lights - but it makes sense (actually, the instructions don't mention quite a few things...). If that's what it turns out to be I'll advise.

Re: Rewiring - indicators
Looks like you were right Blacky/devilrod. Connected one can and the front indicators are working a treat! Nothing at the back though - damn... Surely there wouldn't be a can for the front and one for the back would there?????
Re: Rewiring - indicators
Is it an American kit ? They might have the indicators in the taillights - just run wires from the front indicators to the back ones.

Re: Rewiring - indicators
Figured it out - bad connection to the rear indicators and a bad earth on the dash (dash indicators weren't working either). This was an informative session on the car this morning - I've discovered I've wired up the ignition switch incorrectly. The engines tries to start when the key is in the On position - rather than when you turn it to start!! Back to tracing cables!!
