I purchased a one touch indicator upgrade from britpart but I can’t get it to work. The part installs into the normal loom but there is an additional 2 plugs that’s I can’t figure out where they go. Indicator works fine with the in loom installed but doesn’t give the one touch option as it should. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have never heard of such a thing, what does it do?
Edit: Blimey how much!

I saw that too, over £100 - FFS
So that your indicators flash 3 times and then stop ....
You can get a new pair of rear springs for less than that or a pair of shocks, a full set of Timkin bearings and Corteco seals for the axles ....
Anyway, I presume what it does is send three pulses of 12V at the indicator - the signalling is via the circuit board (wrapped black) and needs a 12V power supply from the two white connectors.
If there are no matching connectors (for the 12V) then likely it doesn;t fit your particular MY

Bit of a nonsense. It does say it’s plug and play, but is that for a TD5 or something newer

Not yet. The connectors on mine are slightly different to the ones on the new loom. Trying to locate a new connector or might just slice it into the existing wiring.

So much for “plug and play” as it was advertised
Why don’t you contact the seller and tell them the issues you are having ??

That's a good idea, then sent it back, get your money back and buy something useful.

Thank you, this was really useful. Turns out it was just poor connectors. A bit of de-pinning and swapping around got it working.
