stevemac 0 Posted August 15, 2005 My indicators don't work properly :( Replaced indicator stalk, in an effort to cure the problem. Indicators worked okay for a few weeks but then the same problem re-occurred. Blew a fuse the other day. Replaced the fuse & all was okay for a day or two. Changed the relay today - just blew a fuse again ! All of the bulbs are okay. Indicators flash as usual when arming/disarming the alarm. Parking sidelights work okay. It appears that the problem could be with the nearside indicators. Problem starts with that side not working properly & quickly spreads to the offside, then the fuse burns out. Electrical problems aren't one of my strong points - any ideas before I get my multimeter out ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Cheers Steve, I'll try that later this evening. Only doubt I have is that the indicators work perfectly well when arming/disarming the alarm. If there was an earthing problem with one of the indicators, I would expect the fault to be present each time the indicators are used. When I changed the indicator stalk, everything was okay for a few weeks. I'm gonna have a look at the wiring between the stalk switch & fusebox. May also remove the whole fusebox & have a look at that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 15, 2005 Strange - have you changed the bulbs also, might as well for the cost of them... Also - you didn't buy the new switch from a supplier called GSF did you?? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Nothing to do with the stalk switch - already tested on another car. Tested indicator relay & wiper relay on another car too - they work okay. Indicators now don't work with the alarm either !! Gonna get my multimeter out tonight & see what the problem is. I suspect it's either a faulty fusebox or part of the circuit is earthing somewhere. Quick question though - the indicator relay (position 6 on the fuse/relay block) is called an "emergency indicator relay" & only has 3 terminals. This is far fewer than I expected. Does the wiper relay or any of the other relays play a part in the operation of the indicators ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
