Trafficator Working Voltage

[Colin Morgan]

Cutting back the wire where it leaves the ammeter and soldering the end before putting it back again has improved the voltages seen at the trafficator junction:

                                                                                                      Before               After Improving Ammeter Connection

Voltage measured directly across battery terminals:                              6.4 volts             6.3 volts

Voltage at trafficator junction box with trafficator on and lights off:         5.7 volts             5.9 volts         

Voltage at trafficator junction box with trafficator on and sidelights on:    5.4 volts             5.6 volts

Voltage at trafficator junction box with trafficator on and headlights on:   4.9 volts             5.4 volts


The trafficator now works without the engine running with the headlights on. 

Thank you for the help.
