Hi all you wise people and other animals of the r4-forum:smile:
A couple of weeks ago the fuse for my flasher unit(9) blew up. The fuse was a 16 a, so I replaced it with a 16 a. I' ve been driving around with 16 a since I bought her (F6 - 1983) three months ago, with no problems. Today it blew again - I replaced it and immediatly it blew up using the flasher. I blew three 16 a and two 8's, before my sunday-brain told me to stop and look in the manual.
My manual says that the flasher unit(9) needs a 5 amp, which I tried with the blown fuse-result. I guess there is a short circuit somewhere? Does anybody have an idea of where I'd be best off starting, sorting out the problem?
It seems it's only when activeting the RH flasher; I get a blown fuse?!
Do I need to put in an other than 5 amp, because sideflashers has been installed?
Thanks!
