Damn electrics.....any ideas??

[silverback mike]

Right then,
Discovered the indicators on the s aren't working....and when I prod the hazard switch, it remains on without flashing although the exterior bulbs don't illuminate.

Do you reckon that's a relay?

I replaced the fuse, they worked for a bit, but then that obviously blew, and they stopped working.

Electrics aren't my thing.....as you may have gathered.

The relay is the first suspect. They are only about £5, so worth a change before doing too much else.

Thought they were working the other day.. Dodgy connection somewhere?..

[silverback mike]

They did work for a bit, after you had changed the fuse but have stopped again. Could be a dodgy connection.

I'm pretty useless with electrics, so will book it out to an auto electrician. Who I must say last time he was up the garage beamed with delight after I asked him to 'just fix a little problem' on it.

[Psychobert]

Must be a dodgy connection.. Try takling the relay out, warming it up and giving it a little tap on the floor; they sometimes stick and thats all you need to do to free it up..

Can't remember if we tried the hazards or not, that might make a difference..

Just thought, I've got the bible here, let me know if you'd like me to look anythign up..

[silverback mike]

Thanks mate, which relay and where is the little bugger.

[Psychobert]

I'll give you a bell in a minute..

No wonder I need it to go.
