1984 xj flasher can

Hi all,
Can anyone advise a replacement flasher can for an 84 xj900?
Thanks Dario

 

Is the lighting all stock still? Just wanted to make sure that you are still using the stock turn signals. If so, any auto parts store should have the two blade flasher unit you need. If you changed to LED lights, you will have to do some more work looking for a LED compliant flasher. May also have to put some diodes in the turn signal ckt.

More folks will chime in and help out soon.

 

Thanks for your reply mate.
All stock but the flasher is a three pin unit. I have an after market can but it doesn't work. Gets power to it but no action. Was hoping one of our brothers and sisters has come across the same problem and has a make model flasher can solution.
Cheers for your help
regards Dario

 

Hi Dario.
I had a basic 2 pin flasher, the Allie can, which worked fine even though it is a 3 pin plug.
Basically the indicator circuit using non led is based on current drawn so the old bimetal strip concept is in play.
If your globes don't draw enough it won't flash, if they draw too much they flash like lunatics.

I changed all mine to led... So yeah it annoyed me.

In saying that I'm not sure I purchased the led indicator relay from that site.

 

Thanks for that, a bit more research on my part I think.
Cheers Dario
