I have a 96 DS. It had lights when I bought it. I wanted to upgrade it with new lights, brake switch and turn signals. I purchased the kits and followed the schematics, all went well until I noticed that the signal light flashed very rapidly when you first put it on. If you shut it off and try again, it works fine. This happens consistantly.
I put a meter to it and found 16 volts. I thinking that is why the flasher is acting erratic. There is a factory voltage reducer attached to the rear frame rail. It seems to be attached to the ground side of the system, has two leads attached to a terminal block and the other lead from the opposite side, goes to an electronic box. I have my gounds attached to this terminal block.
How does the voltage reducer work off the ground end of a system? How can I tell if it is working properly? How do I get the system to 12 volts?
Thanks for your help.
I also want thank everyone for all the help. Just reading the topics from other people and the responses on the problems has been very helpful. So again, thanks to all.
