Ke70 Lights And Blinkers

[nattto]

hey guys, so I just bought a ke70 off a fellow members and I was testing out what works and what doesnt.

 

I turn the lights on and put on the left blinkers and the lights turn off and when I click it off they come back on...

the parkers stay on but I realise that the light on the dash and parts of the car flashes faster then usual but the right ones fine...

 

I'm not really sure what it is, was thinking a wire or fuse but no clue with corollas. used to my skyline haha.

 

cheers. :)

Same as any old car...

 

Check earths with a resistance setting on your multimeter, then 12V at the end of the wires where the bulbs fit in. Look for corrosion where the bulbs sit as that will stop them earthing.

 

A bulb not working in the blinkers will make the others run fast. The dash lights go out when you turn at night then come back after a second or two. I haven't had the headlights go out with them. Yours sounds like an earth not connected so one circuit is running back through another, or a wire connected to the wrong circuit, which is much harder to do.

 

The abysmal setup of powering the light bulbs via a relay, then earthing each filament through the dipswitch should be thrown out. Reverse the circuit and you will have much brighter lights and they will be reliable in use. In my build thread-
