hi all,
i have a turn signal relay on my motorbike and the timer circuit is
broke , i took the capacitor out and it is the problem. a new turn
signal relay cost 40 euros , the capacitor will only cost a fraction
of that .
the problem i have is that i cant determine the charge of the
capactior . it has 5840 wrote on the side of the capacitor, and the
word maram . i normally see 3 digits or colours, i cant figure out
what this one is . its an electrolytic.
i presume the company who made it is maram , and the number is a code
for the size of the capacitor. i think it is 58 micro farads , would
anybody know . i am using the multiplier rule i'm not 100% sure
though.
i hope some can help me , i am sick doing manual indication :-) ( i
have a piece of wire in the circuit for the time been )
thanks in advance

If you can't determine the value from the markings, why not buy a handful of
different values and try them until you find one (or a combination of values)
that gets the system going.
Don't forget:
Parallel capacitors add values (2uF + 3uF = 5uF)
Series capacitors: 1/((1/2uf) + (1/3uF) + (1/4uF)) = 0.923uF
(That's the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals)
