Hi guys,
Got a weird one here?
Got the Chim out of the garage ready for the summer and everything works well apart from the indicators don't work BUT the hazards do? ( different circuit no problem).
Fuses ok, relays ok, so brought another switchgear block from a corsa and tried that?
It worked for 5 mins on both indicator sides then stopped. Now that block is dead. Power getting to it but no power when you pull down indicator stalk? So I bridged with wire the terminals in the switchgear and got the indicators to light up but not flash.
Is the problem under the dash top? No bloody diagrams for the under dash circuitry anywhere, so please help if you have an idea what the problem is, thanks?
I have ordered another GM switchgear block just in case it is the 2nd block that is at fault?

If the bulbs are all working the relay is the likely suspect. Check for power to the relay when you operate the switch. This would eliminate the switch as the problem.Best of luck.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your help with this problem but after taking top dash panel off it turned out to be a faulty meta alarm control box?
Disconnected that and indicators & hazards now work fine? Job done.... until something else goes pop!
