I'll do that John, I fervently hope that it is the connectors and not the wiring 'cos I simply won't know where to start if I have to pull wiring looms apart!

There is a pod delay module that is used to keep the lights up briefly when you use the "flash" feature on the directional stalk. I gave one to a member back in '07 when I was visiting and I had bought a few off the Aftersales list.

Its purpose is to keep the pods up for a short while so the motors didn't keep cycling when "blipping" your friends, etc. Try removing that and see if the lights behave. They are still available, but no longer on the aftersales list. B100M0110F

John,

My next door neighbour took the controller, and despite the warnings on the label to 'replace and not repair' having spent a proportion of his working life designing and building circuit boards offered to take a look at it for me; we'll, lo and behold, the relay within had jammed open (we think it may have been jarred in transit) and so he released that and cleaned up all the contacts, and soldered joints etc. Well wonder of wonders it works perfectly now! Perhaps it needs a label 'glass with care' for transiting! :burnout:

Sorry for the inconvenience. I pulled it from the car at the breakers and then swqapped it with the controller in my car and the lights behaved correctly. I boxed it and off it went.
I didn't expect the postal system could jar things that much - but - I recently got a flasher from Wayne that had internally disassembled itself during posting, so I guess we better over pack everything in the future.
