Decided it was way too
cold to take the Tiger out, as well as the indicators not
working (although I have the doors off so I can use hand signals) and
had all the electrics exposed ready for the replacement flasher unit
arriving. So got into the Volvo and nothing but clicks,
battery flat !!
So off I went, and used hand signals for the first 2 turns then at
the first roundabout force of habit made me select the
indicator. And it worked perfectly :-)
I can only assume the flasher unit has dried out, but I had put it onto
a warm radiator for 2 hours 2 days ago and it hadn't worked, but 24 hrs
in a freezing cold garage and it is OK. Go figure !! At least I will
have a spare flasher unit
Also came in useful to check battery and alternator. And as you
can see they are both bang on specification, 12.5 V with just the battery and 14.0V when alternator working. And it only dropped to
13.7V when I put the headlights on, again as per specification.
Before Start After Start
So just the reversing lights to fix now.
