Cheap Chinese indicators

[SHarper]

Eyup.
On the Triumph I’m using as an excuse for being in the garage; I decided to bin the indicators and mirrors, then discovered and bought these:-

As you can see they’re bar end mirrors with turn signals incorporated, but here’s my question:- the standard indicators that I’m removing only have one wire, whereas the new ones have three. On the new mirror/light, I’m assuming the black wire is the earth and the red wire is the positive, so can someone enlighten me where the yellow wire comes into it?

The old indicator is obviously earthed to the headlight shell with the red wire connecting to what I’d disconnect from the loom.
The wires on the new units are also very thin, so the lights are probably LED.
There are no instructions with them.
Soz if it’s a daft question.

Just WTF am I. .. chopped Liver.... I think the Goat missed #7 completely. ...

The nursery comment was aimed at you Elsie. ... bad man.


So apart from the distress caused by missing me completely in his/hers appreciation I'd like to thank the Goat for an excellent explanation of the vote buttons.

You know you need a really thick skin on here sometimes. ...I've feelings yer know....

I didn’t miss post #7 at all. My response in post #26 was a direct response to your very valid question as to why there are voting buttons. As my post was in reply to yours (Aircon) just as this post is, hence the phrase

the best and most correct/pertinent answer, such as yours, @chrisw and @Derek ’s answers.

was referring to you (Aircon) and others.

I did not “miss me (you) completely in his/her appreciation” I was actually voicing appreciation for your correct answer (and those of others that were also correct). In fact, if anyone cares to look, they will see that at the same time as my explanatory post I selected your (Aircon) answer as The Solution, regardless of the fact it didn’t and still doesn’t have the most votes as there was some un warranted down voting of it. It now appears directly under the question as The Solution, for all to see in perpetuity, as well as remains in the correct position in the thread.

In my defence I was left unsupervised* on the Internet, after a night in the pub.

Are you sure it’s not Legionnaires Disease? Famously hangs about in AirCon units.

Legionnaires’ disease

Legionnaires’ disease is an uncommon but potentially serious form of pneumonia caused by an infection.

It can happen anywhere you have warm water sitting still or slow moving.

Yep. It's the one thing, that if I don't do it right .... it can kill a lot of people both at the customers premises and nearby.

Warm moist areas have got me in trouble before too.

If you wake up dressed like this in the morning, start trying to get through to a doctor.
