Hi Everyone,
I've been searching the forums for answers to a paradox related to the Turn signal relay. After looking at the GenII wiring diagram I find it difficult to understand that the relay can provide the same flashing frequency in both regular turn mode (2 lights) vs hazard mode (all 4).
Bear with me for a moment and I'll explain:
1) The FZ1 relay seems to be 2-pin and serves all 4 turn signals
2) It is well known that the flashing frequency depends on the load, so if one bulb fails or is replaced by -say- a LED, the frequency changes.
In hazard mode the electrical load of the relay is twice that of regular turn mode, so why does it manage to flash at the same frequency?
This might seem a pointless question but I've just bought a couple of Oberon bar end signals and need to know as much as possible about the system before fiddling around with it.
