indicators

[flash911]

guys n gals . Im in desperate need of help. Fitted new side repeaters today . Easy job i thought . NOT ! ! blew a fuse. Changed fuse . Still no joy. Changed relay hazard switch still nothing. Any ideas ? ?

I'd be checking the wires to side repeaters, or the bulb holder.
If all was well before you changed the bulbs, gotta be summat that's got disturbed.

could well be, just tried all the switches and relays in the gsi all working fine,can here the relay clicking when you try to use the hazard switch , means wheels off shit sheild out . going to be fun with a knackered knee , they did look nice as well , not now tho frigging things

Do the side repeaters come off the front indicators or have a seperate wiring loom ?

[Johnraka]

Sure it isn't just a short Flash?
Maybe happened as you fitted them? Easy done mate...

[Pedro]

Just ease the unit from the wing and wires will be there - they go into the A pillar, separate from the main indicators.
No need to remove the crud shield or wing.

Will that be inside the car Pedro. Chris said he thinks the the wiring is in the passenger footwell behind the kick panel. im going to take the glove box out and hae a look in 5 mins . Could it be the indicator stalk ?





NOPE NOT THE STALK  

Glove box next  

Right, glove box out , found a large connection block which appears to feed the side repeaters, well the wire goes from that thru the body and looks to head in the right direction

NO Power comming out of the block to plugs , checked fuse(No 15) power  , checked back of relay no power , took relay out, checked front of connections nothing . WTF next
And what is the blue one for ? is it in the right place it came out when I moved the top of the connector


Right another thought, IF I disconnected the repeaters from this block and wired them into the front indicators would that work ?

[flash911]

RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on the phone to Chris atm, he asked what the colour of the block was behind the hazard switch , took the hazard out , found the colour GREEN, put the switch back in and now the frigging things work
