slipshot

For the sake of clarity, the issue has been resolved. I got lucky. I decided to work on the rear lights first and changed both of the chrome indicator bulbs to sh*tty standard ones - and the issue went away. I have the same chrome bulbs on the front and have not changed these, but I imagine or or both of the rears was causing an issue - anyhow, totally back to normal now.... sods law eh!

Just wanted to add. So purchased accident damaged XR6T to rebuild. Gauge said zero and no fuel so stuck in 10 litres. No movement do did it twice again. So after 30 litres, knew it was not the fuel itself. Fuse made no difference. Guessed it to be the sender unit so ordered a new one, fitted it and tested. Still the same. Then tested the old one and it is fine. So had an auto electrician come and look - and he was a gun. After 3.5 hours later we checked everything and it turns out (as you will know) that it is all about resistance. And the resistance was coming from the plug socket (not the plug) inside the top of the fuel pump. Once we bypassed that, the gauge moved. So I bought a new turbo fuel pump (Goss GE168), fitted it, turned ignition key and how nice to see gauge move to just over 1/3 full. DTE started working too. Then put the fuel I had drained when tank was very full back in and gauge shot to 2/3rd full. Took a while and we got there but this may help others in the future.

Hi all So, rebuilding an 2005 BF XR6T and took it for the first short drive. The indicators, both left and right and hazard, either start hyperflashing immediately or will flash normally for 5-10 seconds then start hyperflashing. No LED's have been fitted. All bulbs are fine (and all have been replaced too with chrome ones front and rear and new wedge sides), and when hyperflashing on the dash, they are doing the same externally. And I have no idea why... I will check the indicator stalk (I have an old one as I replaced that as the Auto word had been worn off) and will also pull out the cluster and check rear connections too (as that was out recently as was finding a fault where the fuel gauge did not work - now resolved after a lot of work), but just curious if this could be due to the wiring issues people report when lights fail? I could not find anyone with this issue when searching but curious for any thoughts? Thanks
