How Turn Signals Work in our Classic British cars

- Turn signals in our classic british cars can be a mystery. How does a wire with constant voltage go in to a box and come out intermittent. Couple that with applying the brakes and now we have a brake light on and a turn signal flashing. To reveal the mystery the Moss Motors Tech department has put together this behind the scenes video.
Very pleasant and descriptive explanation. You’re like the Bob Ross of British car repair. Thank you!
Superb. Brilliant Sir. I absolutely love this video. Very informative. Very good and easy way to explain this video. You are a very good teacher. I can only salute you sir
Thank you soo much for making this video.
The old style flasher flashes slower when a bulb is out because there is more resistance on the circuit.
In my classic Mini, I had an interesting problem in that my flashers told me when I was having a problem with my electrical system in general: When I would slow down to a stop, the flashers would blink VERY slowly, and speed up according to my speed. This was because I had an ignition issue and my accessories were not getting enough current.
Fascinating that this is how they work.
A really clear and thorough video. Thanks!
One day I gotta see the face behind the great Moss Motors videos, ha ha. It's like the radio personality, nobody knows his face.
Say, on many new cars if the bulb is burned out, the flasher goes too fast. It's a convenient, quick message to the driver that one of the bulbs (front or rear) is not working. But if it's thermal, the burned bulb should be an 'open' circuit, with no flow. How does the flasher sense an open in the circuit? Is that unique to electronic flashers?
Best video I've seen on this matter. thank you
thank you so much. i knew about what i needed to know but i didnt understand it. now i do and it isnt complicated or mysterious anymore!
Excellent-Thanks
One of your best videos
How would hazard lights work in that last circuit? Wouldnt doubling the load in the circuit make that flasher work twice as fast? But that isnt the case. And why do I remember that turn signals actually flash FASTER when a bulb is out on that side? Shouldn’t that loss of a load make it flash slower?
I have a rover with semaphore and indicator lights how would I wire the semaphore into the circuit with out them flapping up & down?
I'm glad I subscribed to this channel
What are the three pins on a electronic flasher negitive positive and the middle one?
very well explained thank you.
Great explanation.
Electronic blinkers usually blink faster when a light burns out. That is deliberate so the driver notices something is not as usual. That can be a problem with LED lamps that draw less current than normal lamps. For that reason LED lamps often have resistors built in in order to draw more current. Which is actually kinda stupid, since it kinda ruins the benefit of having an LED lamp, not to mention the resistor prevents the blinker from "noticing" when the LED burns out. Some LED lamps even electronically disconnect the resistor when the LED burns out, so the the blinker blinks faster. I don't know, the whole LED topic is quite messy. Anyway, the point it. And normal blinker SHOULD blink fast/slower when a light burns out or have some other way of showing the driver that something is wrong. Newer cars usually show a warning on a display instead of changing the blink rate.
When using LED bulbs , you need to use an electronic flasher as the LED's don't draw sufficient current to make the old tech thermal flasher work .

Did British cars ever use US-style combined brake lights and rear turn signals?
My turn signals have stopped cancelling. How does one go about fixing this problem?
another awesome video by Moss, I'm glad I subscribed the other day :) but please answer the question from the guy below, why on modern cars the blinkers flash fast when a bulb is out?
thx - excellent explained
very very educational thanks :)))
Great watch!
You justvanswered my question that I had for sooo long lol thank you
I thought the flasher started with the contacts open, so no light, but the power across its contacts causes an heating element to heat the strip which clicks and shorts the terminals out, causing the bulbs to light, and cutting off supply to the heating coil and allowing it to cool to repeat...
Thank you so much!
This is amazing.
Are you using blue as negative instead of positive?
Thank you
how would i by pass a flasher? i want it to be steady..
Thank you very much.
I didn't know electrics were suposed to work on British vehicles. Hail Lucas!
Lucas...the prince of darkness.
Replace it with a wire.
