blody indicators

ok guys,
here is the problem i was doing a good deed, was out for a drive. I rounded the bend to find and old lady in a fiesta in a ditch. so i stoped and helped her out of the car. put the Hazard lights on and and sat her in the cab till the cops came. but when sitting there the hazard lights stopped working and so did the indicators. i checked the fueses and there was a 30amp one blowen replaced that and the hazard light switch. No this is where the issues start. the switch had the multi plug connected but the are 2 spade connectors at the side of the switch and there was nothing connected to them. but there is 4 female connectors that will fit. i dont know what ones to use. they were not connected before so i'm sure that is not the problem. has anyone got any ideas

From memory the small ones on the side are for switch illumination, but then my memories ****e. Try doing a search cos this came up before an it may have bin me that started the fred.

would be better orf looking at the relay before you start trying to make wires fit where they might not have fitted before, it's not unknown for there to be a few unused wires in the loom

i have a work shop manual that shows them connected but not what colour they are. but have fount a blowen fuse under the drivers seat. replace that the only thing to replace now is the relay. so fingers crossed.

The hazard warning switch is a source of trouble as it melts inside if you are daft enough to actually use it. Basically, it's a Lucas Prince of Darkness item.

Be prepared to buy and fit a new Hazard switch.

Pain in the butt the electrics in Defender 90s. Not difficult - far from it, but really cheap trashy components used.

Cotton wool.

Let me rephrase that for you the Grunt!

This evening I replaced the relay, which has solved the problem I had encountered with my indicators.
the is I now have is that anytime I use any other electrics ie when I turn the heater on the relay makes a ticking noise when I depress the brake peddle the relay ticks if I turn the head lights on the relay ticks. I’m happy that the indicators are working. But the noise of the relay is a bit annoying. And I’m sure it should not be doing it. So if anyone has sensible ideas you input would be greatly appreciated.
