INDICATORS

Hello all.

   had a problem with my 88 cab for a while. changed my side repeaters for clear ones, and the indictaors stopped working. thought mybe id chaffed a cable or something, but all was fine. put the stock ones back and still on indictors. ive checked everywhere i can think of to find a short, my dash looks a right out state with everything exposed!! hazards work, but wen i use the indictors just get the green internal lite on constant.  looking through the service history its been a problem in the past and been rectified.  is this a common fault? and if so where should i be looking??


cheers all

The indicator's run through the hazard switch, I'd start there by taking it apart and cleaning it all up (be careful though, there's 2 teeny tiny spring's in it) and make sure the wiring to the switch is in good order to!

I had a similar problem with mine but the hazards didn't work either.. replaced the switch and it's been fine since

:scratch: if the hazards work then the relay should be ok.. only other thing would be wiring  :dontknow:

If you've got a voltmeter see if your getting voltage from the fusebox

apart from that I can't think of elsething else.. sorry

cheers mate.  spent about 15hrs with the multimeter before the battery died and i got disheartened. put a new battery on at the weekend and ran her up but didnt get a chance to start looking again.  hopefully the break will mean i can find the fault quickly this time

Also, check (and clean) the switch in the steering column...
