1968. 1600 turn signal trouble


Flamingo 5

Recommended Posts

Since I'm sure you wired it according to Steve's instructions...Have you checked to make sure both front and rear driver's side bulbs are functioning?  Are you using incandescent or LED bulbs?  Does the flasher kit specify one or the other?  I'm not familiar with the kit's specs, but does it require using LED bulbs?  Incandescents draw much more current than LEDs, and could be overloading the flasher circuitry.

The Kit is a LED conversion 

the turn signal comes on, it doesn’t blink

on that one side, other side blinks

Unless you've wired something wrong, I'd suspect the flasher unit.  So long as all the bulbs are functioning, it can't be the wiring to the bulbs or the lights wouldn't light at all--that fact also absolves the turn signal lever itself, leaving only the flasher...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
