Indicator problem

Post by EKfanPaul2 »

hi guys,
I've got a problem with my indicators.
They'll work when the car is not turned on but not started, but as soon as she is started up / just drive a couple of blocks; they die.

I've replaced the flasher can, the fuse, checked the wiring to the fuse panel.

Can't see anything wrong

Any ideas.

cheers

What mods have you done to the electrical system? Has an alarm been added?

The majician Bill (Reidy) worked it out.
For some reason the yellow constant power cable from the column was rubbing against the steel brake light switch housing; earthing out in the process.
Even though it was insulated - it was earthing out

Well done, that man!
