Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
You're getting there. The x is not a "ground" point. It is the spot where the one wire to the bulb connects to the two wires from the white-circle sides of the two diodes.
The other wire from the...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
OK here is how to hook up the diodes:
Put the two diodes in series between the two wires coming from the harness to the indicator bulb. Make sure that the sides with the white circles (the white...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
Exactly. Actually the kit has two diodes, one at each red wire, one for the left side and one for the right side. That should do the trick !! Hope it works.
One word of caution - the diode kit...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
no no, test the contacts in the rubber housing, where the bulb normally sits (but i think you did).
Yes, ? indeed, but multimeters (at least, the cheapies that I work with) don't say ? - if...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
The 1.1 ohms indicate a short.
The indicator bulb itself, 3.4W, should be 12/(3.4/12) = 42 ohms.
Just to make sure, you did test the two contacts in the indicator bulb housing (the rubber...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
Wait a minute, did I do it right?
21W for 12V, that means there is 21/12 = 1.75 A going through each bulb.
12V and 1.75A, that means the resistance of each bulb is 12/1.75 = 6.857... ohms.
We...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
Yes 0.1 ohm to ground is good enough.
Note, in this case, ground = 0VDC, it's tied to the negative pole of the battery.
It doesn't matter as long as there is no voltage difference. Then,...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
It's probably clear to you by now, - they don't exist, i.e. not available commercially - actually the "2 filament split bulb" really doesn't exist, because:
The ones in the videos are made out of...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
YES !!! :plus1:
a) both of your turn lights blink
b) your turn signal indicator bulb doesn't work
Conclusion: there is a short at your turn signal indicator!
Because, if the turn signal...

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
Just an idea, but it could also have a too high wattage bulb in the turn signal indicator light. Because the current through that bulb also goes through the "other" signal indicator.
