Indicators not working

[scerbera]

Jee this cerbera ownership is already peeing me off. Thank goodness I didn't sell the M5!


Indicators not working today, but they flash on the alarm on and off. Cant find much by searching, what can it be given they work on the alarm?

Many thanks in advance.

No hazards either. I'm sure last owner changed micro switches. Fuse was blown I think, didn't have a fuse guide with me but a 15 amp one was blown. Sounds about right. Changed but no joy.

Thanks Chaps,

I'm away on business now until Friday evening so will try on Saturday. If I have no joy then I have an old volvo estate going for scrap soon and i'm quite tempted to take all the switches, controls and relays out of that and do a little transplant when and if needed.

I can't be doing with things going wrong all the time it's ridiculous!

Sorry but if it's testing your patience after a couple of little niggles, you've bought the wrong car. It's not ridiculous, it comes with the territory when you buy a low volume car that's approaching twenty years old. I hope you get there with it, but it will never compare to the M5 in that respect.

I've nearly spent 1k in the first 2 weeks of ownership and broken down twice, that's not a niggle. Age is irrelevant my friend, I bought the car to use it not to keep it in a garage!

I'm sure i'll get there and sort it all out so I can do 5000+ miles a year without breaking down, but it most certainly is irritating to say the very least. I'm not one to mess about so it will all get sorted.

It's got gaz shocks on it but im finding it very soft now I've had a reasonable chance to drive it so that's next on the to do list is to try and set the suspension up.

Thanks Mulsanne, helpful diagram, will try late friday/ saturday to fix this prob.

Seems the board which houses the canceling sensors is the cause of problem. Can this board be replaced? The optical sensors are broken and missing on my board.

I am going to wire it around the board as a temp fix, if you short the connectors off the next board then I can get them to work so going to bypass it.

Wiring diagram very useful!! many thanks!!
