indicators not working

indicators not working

by alaw12 » Sat Oct 20, 2018 10:44 am
Hi all, need help please with my indicators. Have recently put a new loom in my van and have everything working except for the right hand side indicators. I know there is no problem with the bulbs or flasher relay as if I switch the wires from the indicator stalk to connect to the right hand side lights they flash and work correctly, I also know the stalk is not the problem as have tried two separate stalks and the same problem exists. So bulbs work, flasher relay works and stalk works. What am I missing? Any help out there please

Sounds like you've wired the stalk(s) in the wrong way, as that's the I can think you'd get that symptom.

Have tried every way of wiring bud. So on instructions for new loom I have a grn/wite/blck going to 49a on reley, problem no grn/wite/blck on stalk.
I then have black/white going to connector 1 (connector 1 is left hs indicator lights going to it, both front and back)

and black/green going to conector 2 (connector 2 is right hs indicator lights going to it, again both front and back)


on stalk I have black/green wire, black red wire, black yellow wire, black white wire, black purple wire and black grey wire


At relay I have blue red going to 49a on a piggy back spade, black white from fuse box to 49 and earth at 38

help with wires from stalk or any where else im wrong

The manufacturer of the indicator switch has substituted the black green white as tri-coloured cables are not easy to obtain. Most likely is the Black Grey. Give it a try - carefully!
