Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness
First thing, do the Hazards work correctly when the indicators don't. Press the hazard switch on/off a dozen times and then try the indicators, the connections for the indicators go through the hazard switch. Jim -Original Message- From: MatthewG Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 1:13 PM To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness Hi all, My Q has recently developed an odd fault where the indicator doesn't do anything for the first ten miles of a journey. The stalk still works to control full beam but the indicators don't respond to it until the engine is completely warmed up. I'm therefore guessing that perhaps something somewhere is responding to heat and comes back to life once it's warm. I don't yet know if it's a fault with the stalk or something else. I'm not in the same league of troubleshooting experts as the rest of you so I thought it sensible to ask here if anyone else has experienced this before I start taking things apart.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness
good point - on mine the hazard switch has gone a bit dodgy and has to be held down a couple mm left the hazards not on and the indicators not working either. if the hazards don't work I would hazard, hey hey, a guess that the relay may be bust - I believe they contain a bimetallic strip of sorts which uses heat to create the flash. cheers Chris On 18 October 2012 13:28, Jim Hearne j...@quantums.info wrote: First thing, do the Hazards work correctly when the indicators don't.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness
to be clear the hazard switch has to be held down. if it is up even 1 or 2 mm leaves both the hazard off and the indicators not working. on mine the plastic where there is a little metal hook has worn so it lets the switch raise up a mm. I have to wedge it down with a bit of matchstick.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness
My guess, either the flasher relay or stalk. The hazards may use the same relay so check the hazards at cold. If they work then it's at least not the relay and I'd then check inductor stalk by shorting the need connections. If the hazards dont work I would change the relay / check the contacts for corrosion. The relays are in the footwell so get a nice blast of heat from the cabin heater. Someone will be along shortly to say there are two relays so my test won't work ;-) M On 18 Oct 2012, at 13:13, MatthewG mgas...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi all, My Q has recently developed an odd fault where the indicator doesn't do anything for the first ten miles of a journey.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness
And of course check hazard switch as indicators route through there normally. On 18 Oct 2012, at 14:06, Matthew Wastell matt...@wastell.eu wrote: My guess, either the flasher relay or stalk.
