Head Light Flash

Hi floks, I have a problem with my main beam flash function and seek the guidance of the masters of the black art.

 

My lights all work as they should with the ignition off, but when I turn the ignition on, I loose the flash function. Is this a problem with the live and earth on the relay being the wrong way around?

 

Your help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Geoff

    Do you still have main beam but just no flash?

    my guess would be that when the ignition is on your putting a 12v supply to the earth side of the switch, that could be because your lights switches are earth switched and your trying to make the flash switch live switched so you end up with 12v either side of the flash switch cancelling each other out.

    Sorry folks, I have been away for a couple of days.

    Snowy, can I ask if swapping the earth and active on the relay will fix it?

    b3nny, yes with the ignition on, I have dipped beam and high beam but it will not flash.

    I'm a little new to kits, but I had a similar problem, if the main beam is working the switch over is happening within the relay, have you checked the connections to the switch/stalk?

    Problem solved. Somehow the auto elec that did the initial work had made the earth wire on the headlight switch cluster into an active wire.
