Motorcycle Flasher Circuit validation
Joe_echo:
I have an unforeseen issue. My 555 timer is now not pulsing now the pcbs have been made. Instead I'm getting a solid 12v on the output.

I told you it wouldn't work and you're not listening, never mind how many different forums you've put this on.
Joe_echo:
The circuit was breadboarded and worked as expected with the values posted. Calculations for the 555 cap and resistor combos give a frequency of around 1.5hz However on bench testing the pcb I get a solid 12v from the 555 output, instead of the pulsed signal expected. Nothing to do with your comments on transients etc.

Then it's:
* A mistake you made when designing the PCB.
* A PCB manufacturing fault.
* An error made when populating and soldering the components.

Logic then dictates your PCB has an error somewhere. Post pics so we can help.
