Left hand side flashs
Right hand side lights up front and back and does not flash?

Help required to sort it from those in the know

as the circuit through the flasher is the same for both sides in suspect a dippy earth some where on the side that just lights, the current will be enough to flash all four on hazard but when you sort it it will be much quicker check the earth straps in the indicators ........just as an afterthought if you leave it long enough does it flash ?

I tried a new indicator I had , connected it to the two wires and earthed it on to the handle bars and it worked fine.
Ive played around with the earth wire to the old indicator and still not working.
Swapped the old indicator with the new and all is now working fine.
The old indicator just seems loose internally anyway, so ive scrapped it now!

Malc, I had the problem similar to that, took off the reflector gave it a good squirt of wd 40, been fine ever since, do you still have the old shell?

I'd suspect a dodgy earth on or in the indicator in question.
Link the indicator in question to the frame independantly to confirm.

Wrong wattage bulb? Sounds silly but I've seen this several times before.
