Since buying my SR3 from Radical, the rear near side flasher has never worked and the off side one flashes at high frequency. I assumed there was a bulb out but now I come to check, they are both ok. I eventualy traced the fault to the connector between the shell and body, but having fixed that, they both flash with high frequency. There are no flashers at the front, so does this mean there is insufficient load for the flasher relay to work properly?. The bulbs are standard 21 watt.
My next step is to change the relay, but I have no idea about electrics, and am only guessing my way through.
Anyone have any ideas?

Well i don't need them particularly, and i've had the car for four years without using them but I put it on my list of winter jobs. If they are there, they should work, and it irks me that they don't.

Yes, that's what I think too, but I am assuming that Radical, who sell these cars with lights at the rear and not necessarily at the front would fit a relay that suited it.

Good idea Trev. I will try that.
I'm suprised though, that no one else has had this issue. Perhaps no one connects up? As far as i know, rear lights but no front is standard issue, and the lighting box on my build sheet is not ticked so I guess it was built like this when new.
