No indicators

cheezels · Feb 2, 2012

New problem.

My indicators used to blow the fuse under the steering column if they remained flashing for too long.

Now they don't work at all.

New fuses are in place.

Any ideas?

Cheers

flasher relay behind dash ,if it was blowing fuses when left on too long you need to find why there was too strong a current draw for fuses

OK James, thanks for this.

Sooooo, 2 problems then.

Are there any 'usual suspects' when looking for earth faults?

Flashers should take about 3 amps and a couple of times that momentarily to warm the filaments so there's definitely something wrong here. Replace the flasher unit as a start and see if the indicators work - if not it's probably the stalk switch that's faulty or the wiring to it. Earth faults usually cause individual bulbs to stop working or run dim or even make different bulbs go on!

Put a fecking big bit of nail in where the fuse is.

Problem solved.

Oh, also buy a fire extinguisher.

It's a 38A fuse - it might as well be a nail!
