Indicators

After removing my clocks to try and fix my rev counter i now have the green indicator light on the dash on dull when the ignition is switched on. The MFA display has also gone mad.

When i try to indicate either left or right the green light comes on solid and also brighter but the indicators on the outside of the car don't work.

If i use the Hazzard warning lights all of the outside lights flash and the green dash light flashes as it should

Managed to fix the indicators by replacing fuse 19 but my MFA is still only showing little bits instead of full numbers  

pull the dash fuse for 30 seconds

Tried that mate. Even disconnected the battery over nite and that didn't work either  :cry:

doh, dead dash

hi regarding your indicators its your hazzard switch check the wiring on that ,your mfa might jump back into life if you take of your battery negative wire then keep trying putting it back on and off,get someone to sit in car to keep an eye on the clock,it should work i had exactly the same problem

I have this problem! i have tried to change the relay, have also changed the fuse box and fuse 19 is all good,
whats wrong?? where could the error be? :dontknow:

sorry for my bad english

if it has the later fusebox there are 2 fuses for the indicators, #4 and #19. if they're ok hazard switch most likely the problem

ive reset the dash cluster with no joy, im thinking it my be a dodgey earth problem. has any body got a wiring diagram the engine and dash to download????

the dash earths to the cylinder head, its one of the brown/white wires. this wire runs from the dash brown/white wire to a spade connector behind the fusebox, then from there to the head

top man i think the wires are the wrong way round in the engine bay some one has
been messing with it and its a right mess, ive put that earth wire on the
oil pressure switch on the side of the head and the oil wire to earth,to the rocker cover.
That would deffo explain my dodgey indicators and oil light coming on and going off lol

Will swop them round monday
