indicator problem after stereo fitment

[keystarG60 0]

My friend recently fitted a new head unit in his mk4 golf.

 

Only thing is, the indicators have gone crazy!!

 

They flash when the car is locked/unlocked so thats ok

 

But they dont work while driving or when the hazards are switched on.

 

I've never fittedone my self so can you guys help??????????

Most newish cars today, relacement radio's plug straight into.

 

So i'll assume for arguments sake that you have fitted a new radio with a wiring harness ie - Sony to VW.

 

If this is so, then the actual length of the wiring loom has become longer, so hiding it away for the radio unit to sit comfortably in its cage leads me to think that it may have disturbed a multiplug or wiring in conjunction to the indicators.

 

Its even possible that the Radio my be faulty or its been wired up wrong but thats a real longshot I reckon, unless whoever installed the radio is a fukwit.

 

Personally, I would remove the radio completely and maybe plug in the original one to see if that cures yer problem.

 

The problem has started since you removed the radio and installed the other, If its not related what so ever then thats just bad luck I guess.

 

I would say that your problem is something or nothing, just retrace yer steps and check the wiring bud.
