Jeffds1360 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Cannot flash ! I've been messing about with the column switch, as detailed in other post but have now found I cannot flash. Main and dip work but I did notice that on removing the switch that something shorted ( heard the dreaded crack crack) but did not blow the one and only 35amp fuse so I thought all was well. Now I find the 'pull back' action has no effect. Could I have damaged the internal switch mechanism? if so, is it repairable? it goes on... and on... and on but I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 You did have flash before? Just checking... Cracking noises are usually a sign of something amiss but if you only shorted out a few cables ( you didn't remove the battery????) then unless you melted the loom it won't have gotten hot enough to melt the switch. You'd have smelt anything amiss as it happened. Check your wiring especially the bullet connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 My 13/60 has a flash function. For flashing in general see Doug's other site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffds1360 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 I haven't built up enough kudos,yet, to gain access to that site ok, I'll check the wiring but it look like an internal contact in the switch that makes the main beam circuit live. I'll disconnect the battery this time if I remove the switch I've always been a risk taker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffds1360 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 It WAS the fuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 So you wouldn't have had main beam either then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffds1360 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 No, the main beam ( and dip) are fed from the dash switch. It is a seperate feed to the 'rocking' flasher pull switch. My Haynes book confirms this. The power goes to the same blue white feed to the main beam though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
