Hi All - I am getting my other TR7 out of hibernation. It has been in my garage for 8 or 9 years. (I have been driving my other TR7). I have been getting this one ready for the road. The issue I have is that the solid green wire which is a fused always on with the ignition on is getting feed back from the turn signal flasher! When I hook up my test light to the green wire the light is on but there is a light flashing when the signals are on. Even the low fuel light has a slight flashing to it. This flashing was very noticeable when I added LED daytime running lights. (Canadian car). Could this be a symptom of a bad ground somewhere or an old flasher unit?
Many Thanks for any input.

I’ll have to take your question on advise as I’m laid up in hospital at the moment and not thinking too straight a bloody heart attack will do that.
Hopefully someone will be along sooner to help you

you'll need a new electronic flasher unit that is compatible with LEDs like this https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/produc ... king-sound

Always a good idea to check and clean earth points. Symptoms point in that direction.
Did you also put LED bulbs in? In that case you needed an electronic flasher unit.

I found these are top notch, it is a variable flasher unit, you can set the flash rate to whatever you want.
Had one in my car for a few years now. Here

Hi Cobber - You are dedicated to reply to this while in hospital. Take great care of yourself and lets all hope for a speedy recovery for you. All the best to you.
our weather here on the west coast of Canada is wet and snowing today, I hope you are having good weather in Australia.

Many Thanks for all the replies! I think I know where to start looking now.
A new flasher unit is on the way and I will check any grounds I can find.
