Thread: Blinkers on an ARB bar.

Try ARB and see if they know. Look out for "Scotch locks' that may have been used to join 1 wire onto another. Mine had these and I have gradually replaced them all. They will give you heaps of voltage problems.

Daryl,
Try any good truck parts store or auto electrical parts supplier. I had the same prob with my ARB bar and got some great LED units that can also be used as parking lights, they're brilliant. However the openings in the bar had to be modified minimally to do this.
The place I got mine from Hyway Truck Accessories at Chipping Norton in Sydney has a web site with these items available. However, i paid $35 for each of them in February they appear to be a lot dearer now.

Cheers
Rob

Thanks for your replys guys.
I just asked a mate who's right into Landies and he said it's a Hella part that comes with the bar. Reckons they're around $35 ea, so I might as well look at doing the LED modification.


Again thanks,
Daryl.

Addendum.......

Turns out that my mate was wrong .... they aren't Hella, or Narva. I found my local ARB stockist had them @ $35 / pr.

I also found out why the original unit failed ........ idiot that installed the bar had stretched the indicator wiring so tight that the rubber grommet for the wires had pulled over to one side, leaving an air gap for the ingress of mud, etc'. Was obviously just too simple to use the supplied wiring harness.


Daz.

My bullbar has been on for 6 months and I still haven't wired up the blinkers.

Will get onto it one day?

I have just installed my ARB indicators, and now the light for the trailer indicator flashes all the time when the indicators are on.
Do you think these 'scotch locks' could cause this?
