well that why i thought but in fact the hazard light when switches makes one pair of cables and when off makes other pairs. Plus the ouput from the flasher unit does not give enough current to pull in the relays and if not wired right the flashing out put will flash enough to energise the relay but no enough to make the contact. So you will have no indicators or hazard lights but technically working. So had to run a seperate supply of set 3 and 4 of the fuses to the live side of the switch and the switched live to the live side of the coil on all the relays. With that done you then have to take the flashing output which is in the inital wiring to the common side on 2 of the relays and the indicators to the normally open because the 2 pairs have to be seperate when the switch is not made other wise when you operate your indicator all for of them will flash. Finally the pair to the flash which are made when the normal switch is off have to be split and put through another relay on the normal closed contacts and again take the live side of the coil from the switched live on your rocker.
If that make sense you can see why I had a head ache lol i was out there for awhile with my multimeter measuring the current and timing the pulses to solve my inital problem.

o plus the shear load of your headlights have to be put through relays otherwise you will burn the rocker switch out. due to too much current.

"Hazard warning devices are not required on vehicles first used before 1 April 1986, but if one is fitted it must be tested. " www.motuk.co.uk/manual_140.htmProblem solved!

Hi guys has any one converted to centre speedo. If so is there away of modifiying the speedo cable to fit the centre clock with out actually changing the speedo cable for a new one.

it maybe possible, but not sure how you get it to hold in place with out falling out , its easier just to buy a screw in cable to the back of your speedo, as the later one you has was a clip on. most motor factors have them.
