Indicators, Hazards

Hello, 1st post so here goes.

I just got a 110 CSW 300Tdi 1997.

The problem is the indicators do not work when the hazard light switch is connected and the previous owners done a by-pass. I do have indicators and hazards but not working as the should. I have to disconnect the hazard switch and have a wire from the supply feed and the light switch supply connected together.


I have looked Hazard Switch & Indicators - fault diagnosis - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

With the Hazard switch in the 'off' position

"'Suppy to flasher' is connected to 'Light switch supply' - which comes on with the second click of the ignition switch"

So I turn on the ignition switch:

permanent supply = 12 V +
Supply to flasher = 12v +
Light switch supply = 12v+

I use the indicator stalk and nothing.


I then did this:

If you link 'permanent supply' (purple) to 'Left indicators' or 'Right indicators' the indicators on that side should light, constantly though, not flashing. this proves the bulb wiring is ok and you have supply to the loom plug. All Working

If you link 'permanent supply' (purple) to 'supply to flasher' (light geen), the indicator stalk switch should work the indicators as normal (flashing). The indicator switch is connecting *flash* to 'Left Indicator' or 'Right Indicator'. All Working


You can repeat the two tests above, using 'Light switch supply' instead of 'permanent supply', the ignition switch will need to be on the second click
Done all working


Almost there.

Where the switch tell- tale is the black and red wire is attached to the contact on the side if the switch (opposite the black earth)

This must be wrong

"The multi plug has 7 wires going into it, there's also the Black (red trace) and Black wires, which are connected directly to the switch body. these are for the indicator in the switch itself."

so where should I find this black (red trace) wire?

where is the black and red tell-tale wire?

I have looked at a wiring diagram and failed to find there location.

Any one able to help?

Many thanks

Have you considered that the hazard switch itself may be faulty? Have you tried another one just to check?

I pushed the tell tale window into the housing of my hazard switch the day of the MOT. Agreed withe Mr MOT man that it would pass on the day as long as I took it back when I replaced it. He laughed his head off when a brand new switch gave the exact problems you are having - the old one went back in and he turned a blind eye!! (tho im not convinced it needs to be there anyway!!)

Leave the wires alone and change for known good switch first - even new ones are ****!
