Indicator issue

Hi I tried to solve my lack of dash lights problem and now have no indicators!
I had popped a couple of fuses which when replaced I have hazards working but the indicators popped again. Green light stays on the dash when indicating and hazards still work.
Could thus be the switch on the column I have somehow knackered or the relay?

Cheers 

Sounds as if you have one of the wires on the hazard switch shorted to ground, or a bad switch (hazards)

That blows f14 or 19 every time.

You need to insulate the bare wires.

Cheers
 maybe I fried the switch by accident as all the wire are OK.
I'll get a new switch from vwheritage and see what happens

Problem solved. I took the switch out and put it back in replaced the fuse and it worked!
Wipers next as they are unbelievable slow. I have read about the mk2/3 motor swap but I'll test mine first of the car when cleaned.

Cheers for your help.

Hiya mate can I ask what' was the matter with the dash lights cause it's sounds like the same problem I'm having. None of my lights on the clocks work appart from full beam and the Rev gauge, fuel gauge and water temp dont work, also the indicators have stopped working now. It all started from me putting a CD player in the other day and I think the cage touched the hazard wires as the CD player sparked in the cage 

First Check your fuses all of them.

The fuel gauges, and the water temp gauge both work off the 10V stabilizer, and that both aren't working then you are either missing 12V to pin 14 (black) or ground on pin 2 (brown).

The Black wire on most cabriolet clusters is powered from the ignition switch, so it could be that you toasted yours…

First check all the fuses with a meter.
Then you can try running a jumper from the Battery Positive to the cluster pin 14 usually black and verify that your gauges are now working….

I have just had a look, I unplugged the hazard switch and reconnected it and all the lights started working so I thought I must be one on them wire so I unplugged again expecting it all to go off but it didn't they have all stayed on. The indicators not working still, there is a dull green light on the dash on constant and when you put the indicator switch on it changes to a constant bright green but no noise from relay 

That my friend is a bad fuse, as the hazards or 4-way flashers have 2 fuses.  one for the hazards and one for the turns.  A glowing Green light on the indicator usually means to me that on my cabby f19 is blown.

The hazards are like f2 and the turns are like f14 or 19 depending on the year.

Shrink wrap the blue /black striped wire that is the single on other than Brown on your 4-way switch or disconnect the battery as that is usually the reason the fuse goes…..when you remove or replace your switch.

Tisn't much room between the live wire, and the ground on the bulb is there?  VW did that so you would have to take the car back to the stealerships as they sold more switches and fuses that way beside the 1hr labor charge to change it



Add an after market radio install plate on the dash and the chances of shorting that to ground increase….


 

Awesome cheers for you help mate 👍🏻
