550 indicator relay

(1/2) > >>

DomP:
I've bought a new 2 pin led relay for my 550 but to my surprise the one fitted to my bike is a 3 pin, I thought they were all 2 pin?

Nurse Julie:
No, originals are 3 pin, modern day replacements are 2 pin. Just leave the green earth wire unattached.

Ah thanks Julie!  I've said it before but electrics is not my strong point...pure witchcraft

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
IIRC you need to connect the remaining two wires the right way round as the terminal markings might be different.

I seem to recall having to reverse the two wires to get mine working - if its an electronic unit you can blow some units with the wrong polarity - worth checking the markings carefully.

With the 2-pin units they fit Positive & Negative earth vehicles  hence the need to check.

K2-K6:
Some of the cars still use 3 pin.

VAG (volks audi etc) relay "191" is such a beast.
