Tom2000 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Recently had an issue with my indicators not working so I replaced the indicators and fitted a new flasher unit to find that suddenly they work, however went out today and none of my steering column electrics work. I cannot figure out what the problem is, fuses are fine :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boy Bailey Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The steering column has an earth lead in the engine bay connecting the column to the chassis. Try clamping an earth lead to any metal part of the column and see if the indicators work. That's the easiest thing to check first of all. Might also be loose wire on the indicator arm switch. I know what you mean though, I hate electrics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodders1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Steering column earthing only affects the horn (and only then if you have a horn-push in the middle of the wheel) It has no influence of the function of the indicators, dip/main, or wiper switches.Tom - are you still in Southampton? If you're anywhere near the M3 this weekend, drop in (just off Jn 4a) and I'd be happy to chase through the electrics with you. cheersbodders1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2000 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Bodders I am entirely free this weekend, I just have to refit and secure the seats which should only take me an hour tomorrow. Could you PM me your number? This would be mega handy and I'm sure I can repay with said beverage of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
