Fed Sig FA3 Flasher ~ intsructions or advice needed

Post by Cheeko »

Hi all

I have just found a FED SIG FA3 flasher in a box of kit sent to me

I belive its an alternating relay for upto 10amps each side

The problem I am having is I cant get it to flash I can get it to steady burn one output but that is it.

On the bottom there are 3 spade terminals marked X L1 L2 and a fixed wire

I am persuming that the fixed wire is ground and the X is the power input and L1 and L2 are the light heads respectuflly.

Does anyone know how these are fitted I only want them on a couple of led lights in my edge bar

Thanks guys hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here.

Those flashers will not work the LED lights.

Hi KB9KST

I take it then they will work with halogen lights.

Im in the process of changing the lights in my edge bar over to LED but I do still have one or two halo lights on the vehicle.

How would these be wired I have tried them with 2 lights on the bench and it still just locked up and steady burned on one side and no flashing from it.

Thanks for the help

Hi mate

Thanks for that I did a search on fed sigs site and came up with nowt so nice one fella.

iv just tried the flasher on 2 21w and 2 55w light heads to no avail so im guessing the flasher is caput oh well not to worry it only cost me a couple of quid from my supplier as he chucked it in condition unknown so iv not lost out on it really.

Thanks for the help once again
