you cant flash your lights unless you have dipped beam on is this the same on all minis ? just to flash you have to click the dipped beam on then flash

its just a large carry on if you see a mini and want to flash them!

I just flash the stick thingy and it flashes :s

[taffy1967]

No you should be able to flash regardless of whether your lights are on or off.

Pull the stalk back towards you.

You should be able to flash your headlights (high beam) with your lights switched off. Sounds like a wiring fault?

[tobiasnugent]

my bloody mini and its wiring faults, the faster my dad re wires it the better!

[Q_M]

Jesus man get that fixed fast you can't flash at other Minis!

Your problem will more than likely lie in the actual stalk,it may need cleaning to allow the contacts to touch.
Take the cover off,then the steering wheel,then remove the actual stalks and clean between the plates this will more than likely cure your non flashing lights.

yeah i'd say clean the contact on the stalks too, they're brass and get a covering of dirt on causing them not to work.

[tobiasnugent]

it flashes if i have the dipped beams on tho D:

[M44K TS]

are you pushing or pulling the stalk to get it to flash?

[ricky_mini]

yeah, you should even be able to flash with no ignition on :s

does anyone know if the relay operates a different circuit when dipped beams are on? 'because it could just be a relay fault.

[tobiasnugent]

are you pushing or pulling the stalk to get it to flash?

tried both D:

Flashing with headlights in the on position the power is sourced to the lights via the blue output from the headlight switch. If you are flashign without the headlights on the power is sourced from the purple wire coming off fuse point 4, ie 2nd fuse down, right hand connection. Does your horn work ok? This is sourced from the same point....

We had loads of trouble with this connection on my friends car, clean up the connector on the fuse box aswell as the spade connector on the wire. Sorted our problem.
