No Indiacators

[parkeyx]

i have a bx 1.9 diesal on a L reg.when i use the indicators (r+L)they dont work(no relay click). but when i press the hazard switch the relay clicks and the indicators flash.

 

 

i been told its not the relay because its on the same system at the hazzards and they are ok.

 

the fault keeps coming and going.

 

i,m thinking it could be the indicator staulk(but both left and right not working?). is there any other problem on these cars that cause this. also wots the colours codes on the indicators connection block.so i can test

 

any help would be great. i used to be a mechanic years back. but i,m rusty on newer cars and was never great with electrics.

Believe it or not, it could be your hazzard switch causing the problem......i seem to remember the indicator switch passes through the hazzard switch before going to the relay.

 

Yes i know the hazzards work....but when you cancel the hazzards i'm sure it has to make contact internally to connect indicators.

 

Try disconnecting the hazzard switch.

 

At the harness plug, connect terminals 2 & terminal 1 together. Operating the indicators they should now work.....if they do your hazzard switch is faulty.

 

Obviously you carry out the above at your own risk......i would recommend using a 10 amp fuse in the wire you use to bridge the wires together......at least it will blow if either i have got it wrong or you do it wrong!

i pulled the hazzard switch out to have a look at the design,when i plugged it back in. the indicators was working. the wires seemed ok and the connection good.

 

looks like the switch is the prob. i,ll grab a new one. but for now, i have light!

 

thanks a lot for your answer and u are a star!
