Misc: Electrical (General) flasher relay

[vibrac]

I have a relay for a flasher unit bike is negative earth is marked WRE06 12v 18/23w
instead of numbers it has letters on the terminals V P L

How should it be wired?

Does it work with
V=volts or power
L=lights
P=pilot or dash light

I think it needs an earth to power the relay but which one

No it doesn't need an earth. The circuit is completed to earth when you select the direction (activate the blinkers). The unit I used didn't have the P terminal and I had to do a diode bridge, so looks like that is built in.

So its just V & L (I believe if you can see the winkers work you dont need a dash light thats just car and modern thinking)

My front winkers face forward, and prior to fitting an idiot warning light, I have been known to ride for literally miles with a winker going, I considered that to be dangerous, so I did something about it, if I really looked hard I could just about see the winker reflecting off my 8" headlamp rim, but it was not visible enough to act as a warning device, especially not on a bright day.
