More out of academic interest than anything else really
So I've removed the standard instrument cluster and installed SpeedHut Gauges. The Speedo has 3 lights embedded in it. So I thought I'll use one for neutral one for high beam and one for the indicators
The standard cluster only uses one bulb as a warning light, this is goanna be easy, I just wire the led I want in the gauge to light to the single one that was used in the standard panel for the indicators and I'm done.
Not quite
Just turnned on the indicators and now I have all of them flashing no matter if I choose left or right.
Looking at Carl's diagram it appears (to me anyway) that both indicators have a parallel feed to the bulb, no diodes WTF. I would have expected the bulb to allow the voltage to backfeed to the opposite indicator circuit.
Thinking about it it's probably because the indicator warning bulb is relatively low resistance compared to the LED.
When the bulb is used the resitstance is low, relatively speaking, so not much current will backfeed.
However introduce a high resistance LED and more current will take the line of least resistance (literally) and backfeed to the opposite circuit
I just posted because this could happen if somebody decided to install LED warning lights in place of the standard bulbs.
I can check this easily by breaking the warning light connection, if the indicators return to normal then I'll need to install Diodes into the 2 separate lines
