so ive got a new stalk and the hazards work but still no indicators! ive swapped the relay out of my g60 which i know is good but still no luck.

Assuming the relay is OK as checked, the new storks switch assembly (& old) are OK, there’s only two fault conditions that can exist to generate this condition of hazards but no indicators. The hazards working confirm the rest of the circuit is OK.

 

1) Fuse 17 (10 amps) has blown or is loose.

 

2) The black / blue stripe wire (fairly thick diameter) has been damaged by either being cut or pulled out of socket. The wire runs in the steering column loom. It is connected from the turn signals switch connections to the third red plug (next to the white plug) on the bottom row from the driver’s door side on the back of fuse/relay panel. Check the fuse box end and inspect the length under the dash to see if the alarm fitter damaged it or snipped it by mistake.

woo hoo that worked! but as soon as it started working the horn stopped relay clicks new fuse just no bloomin beep!

[RW1 0]

If the relay is clicking and the fuse is OK, then out of the 1st yellow plug (passenger side) on the bottom row of connectors on the back of the fuse/relay plate there is a brown with black stripe wire, same size as the indicator wire. This wire goes to earth when the relay is held over by the horn pad as it does at the horn connections at the bumper.

 

The supply is on the same plug (1st yellow). From fuse 13 (10 amps). Wire is black with yellow stripe, same size again. This will be at 12 volts with the ignition ON. Same colour of wire at the bumper should go to 12 volts with the ignition on.

i have 12v at the horns when i press the button but neither seem to emit a sound this seems a little strange that they would both be knackered at the same time, ill try the horns from my other rado see what happens.
