Hi,
On my Ruby at the moment, it seems that when the headlights are turned on (engine not running, battery only) the trafficators do not wish to work. They work fine with no lights or just the side lights on. I was therefore suspicious of the voltage that the trafficators were seeing with lights on or off and took the following readings (which are rounded a bit for clarity).
Voltage measured directly across battery terminals: 6.5 volts
Voltage at trafficator junction box with trafficator on and lights off: 6.0 volts
Voltage at trafficator junction box with trafficator on and sidelights on: 5.5 volts
Voltage at trafficator junction box with trafficator on and headlights on: 5.0 volts
My question is, where is the resistance likely to be that is causing this voltage drop, please? Could it be PLC switch? Or the connections to the ammeter, for example?
