CanAm Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 On my way back from the photo blat at the 5 Bells on Sunday, I realised that the indicators were not working, so it was arm over the side time on the way home. Trying a bit of logic at home - if the indicator switch is faulty I'll try the hazard light switch instead and it was AOK. Then, a flash of inspiration, thanks to Mick Day in Uncle Festers thread, who mentioned if the indicators don't work, give the hazard switch a good workout. Lo and behold, everything back to normal.

Unclefester Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 In my case it was the fuse, which was made of some non-electrically conducting material cunningly disguised as metal. Norm, if you are reading this, I had tested it with the meter, and it was giving a tiny reading on the output side but for some reason this didn't alert me 😳 Only later did it stop reading totally......though the fuse is visually 100%, it transmits zero current! New fuse= 12.6volts output! Madness! I blame Satan.  Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..ooooh hooo hooo!!... 😬 😬here *eek* Edited by - Unclefester on 17 Jan 2007 14:29:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Just had exactly the same problem, did a quick search on 'indicators' and found this thread- flicking the hazards on and off worked a treat! right then, I'm off out in it! Blatchat rules 😬 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sootysevener Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I replace my hazrd switch twice but it still kept causing the problem. Thats when i decided that tractor switches are useless and gave me the excuse to revamp the dash with toggle switches that work 😬 David 1989 1700XF SS clams with carbon webshots here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothecary Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Happened to me today for the first time..quick flick of the hazards and everything back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_K Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Thanks to the power of Blatchat, I was able to sole the same problem fairly quickly too. Mind you, that was after testing every fuse in the car! A quick hammer of the hazard switch and after a strange little buzzing sound, all works OK again. What is the weakness? Is it the switch that's dodgy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
