Bare with me and throw some ideas at me

Evening all,
I have an MNR Vortx, I've not spent a huge amount of time looking for this fault as I'm feeling poop this evening. MNR loom, sierra switches. The other day found out I have no Indicators or brake lights (10A). Fine if the fuse is replaced and ignition turned on, fine if replaced with engine running. When the car is cranked and started, it pops straight away. Alternator isn't over charging 13.5v. I can't see anything obvious, bare wires touching etc.
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this loom or a good idea. I'll spend some time out in the garage tomorrow and have a popper look but any ideas tonight would be good.

Regards

John

Sounds like the starter motor current is finding some alternative paths - doesn't sound completely logical, but it may be worth checking the engine/chassis earth strap before you delve any deeper....

Try giving the hazard a squirt of contact cleaner or failing that WD40 especially if the car has been standing or caught out in the rain. Guess how I know?

Check your engine/chassis earth connections.
