Hazzards work, Indicators Don't
The Baron - 22/4/06 at 03:28 PM

I have spent the day wiring up my carburettor’ed pinto into my locost.

I a using sierra donor parts with a Vikki Green Wiring Loom. Every thing worked fine except that my indicators don’t work! This is made even stranger by the fact that my hazard lights do!!!!

Any one got any ideas.

Cheers,

The Baron

the hazzards work via a permenant live and the indicators work via an ignition live, so check the ignition switched feed

From a previous post

Hi, if you pull the large plug off the indicator stalks, look at the pins on the switch, you will see they are numbered 30,54,49, 49A,R & L,


follow wires 49 & 49A & make sure they go to the flasher unit , the flasher unit will be marked 49 & 49A,make sure they agree.


now check that wire in plug at pin 30 is live all the time, wire in plug at pin 54 is ign live,

wires in plug at pins R & L should be open circuit with no bulbs in & if you put bulbs in they should show a resistance roughly equal to Left or Right bulbs,
have you got a good earth at the back & they are not earthing out through the brake lights
