Flashing beacon interference on UTV
I have made a turn signal kit for my utv which has a flashing amber beacon on the roof and i want to have all lights in one loom but the beacon flash interferes with the turn signals. Does anyone know a way to stop this

Welcome to the forums.
Flashing amber beacon ?? Would that be a strobe light ?
Some strobe lights allow a slight surge to come back thru the wiring harness but that should not affect your directionals unless possibly they are LED.

You have an impedance issue. Get informed by many reading many of the good explanations on the web. Then you can add capacitors and/or inductors judicially to address the issue.

If it's an impedance issue the interference will carry over to the other lights at where the wires are connected but if there are any electronics associated with the turn signals the interference could be happening between conductors in the wiring bundle that runs through the loom if shielded wire was not used.
If you can temporarily separate the wires to the strobe and operate it you can see if this stops the interference.
