What did you have to do to make them work with the engine off??

Trying to think of a suggestion, i normally like this sort of issue! With the engine running, the only differences are:

The voltage is a small amount higher, and there are some more vibrations. I can't think of anything else changing.

So: If it is a slightly higher voltage, then i would suspect the relay. They are electronic, and they also control the trailer warning light, as they auto sense when a trailer is plugged in. If the right repeater had failed, this could potentially damage the electronics in the relay.

Are you sure that the buld in the repeater is the correct wattage? That would also confuse the relay.

The battery light however does seem odd.

Thinking about it... When the ignition is off, the battery light is illuminated, meaning there is +12V on that feed. When the engine is running, it does out, i.e. there is no +12v on it. This would allow a poor earth to then earth back through the light, making it glow dimly. You could try unplugging the little light unit in the dash to see if that stops it trying to earth back through it.

Lookig at the wiring diagram, check the wires in the dash for chafing on erach other, 'cos the no charge light and indicator lights are not linked together by much. Check those earths, and have you checked the one in the wing where the lights go in? And the one for the side repeater which is i think awkward to get to.


And yes i know I have just rambled to myself a lot, but hopefully it helps a bit!

turnt the ignition on

i,ve had a multi meter,power probe and drop tester on it.
all checks out allright, until the engines running,it just dunt want to know,like you say boydy theres got to be a short or earth back feeding across from somewhere,its just not on the indicator wiring side

When the engine is on, and you indicat right, what do they do wrong apart from light up odd warning lights? Do they flash slowly, toop fast, not at all?

And what do you mean by power probe and drop tester?

they come on normal for a couple of times then flicker,go out then flicker and go out all together,but only on the right hand side,left side is fine until after you try the right hand side then it just goes dead
just had them all working earlier with the engine runnin on tickover for a good 5 mins with no issues,but when you increase the revs it starts flickering,then goes out . i,m stumpped by this one,looks like a dash out job

Try putting a temp earth from the chassis to one of your indicators on the dodgy side. It sounds like your indicator lights are using the dash as an earth.

rite,the bastids am workin tfft, but i now av an issue wen i turn on the hazzard light switch,the fekin ignition comes on anurl,am baffled

Take out the bit of the dash with the gauges in and check all the wires for chafages etc
