No Indicators

[yorkie_chris]

Wiring diagram is there in back.

Wire goes into relay from fusebox (short Y piece of wire .. orange and blue maybe something like that direct from SIGNAL fuse) ... this should have 12V

Wire comes out of relay, sky blue one IIRC... goes to indicator switch... should have 12v on/off current

This wire goes to connector to switchgear... check it here, short this wire out with brown or whatever it is to bypass the switch and see if indis light then



You just need to follow path of current and see where path is broken

test it straight from the switch to the relay, if its broken it could be a loose connection in the back of the head light where all the cables are connected up, its easy enough to trace which cable it is as it should be the only of that colour connected to that block.
Your prongs should be small enough to fit in the connected block to see which it is, most like the run from the back of the head light to the relay, but thats the easiest to replace tbh.

Cheers guys- there's signal from the switch to the lights. so it must be between the switch and the relay.

I shall have a gander shortly...

So- had the right fairing off. Gave the wiring a wiggle around the block-connector and got indicators back. Gave the area a clean, tested a few times- seemed OK, then put the fairing back on.

Then the indicators went. And the dash- as the indicator fuse had blown (I thought this would be on the 'meter' fuse? Or is that just for the speedo?)

Replaced the fuse and tried again. Had the left indicators working OK. Tried the right indicator- nothing. The dashboard flashed with the relay going, but no turn signal light on the dash or indicators going. The indicators didn't work at all with the engine running and the fuse went again.

Now perplexed but it seems a little beyond my experience with wiring now. Could it just be a short? Seems more related to the right hand indicator than the left.

I may well need to see Spanner Man again...

What do you have, a curvy or a pointy?

It's curvy 99 SX.

Probably that connector under fairing is rotted to death

The connector itself seemed OK, judging by the connectors on the male side- but Im tempted to get the switchgear from SV Spares- I assume it's the 610mm length. The indicators started working when I wiggled that side of the connector block...

disconnect the plug, see if you get a reading from the indicator with no bulb in between live and earth there should be no reading if there is theres a short to earth and then one of the cables is going to need replacing remember to remove both bulbs.

Do you mean the connector to the indicator itself, or the connector between the switchgear and the dash?

edit- this'll have to wait for a few days- until I can get some fuses...
