Returned from holiday to this new issue. 4L Chim, P reg (96/97)

All indicator lights operate from the hazard switch as well as lock/unlock.

I've got the dash top off but can't see any diodes underneath the relay box.
Steering wheel cowl is also off, I can hear the relay click as I operate the stalk. It also works for main beam /flash.

All fuses are good.

Any clever ideas before I send it to the TVR doctors?

• First would be Fuse 15.

• Next the changeover relay. The relay itself must be working if hazards work but may have a duff contact so with ignition on check you have +12v at pin 30 (red/brown) and 87a (Green).

• If that is OK then use a test lamp (ideally 21watt not a multimeter) connect one end to earth and the other end to the light green/brown wire at the indicator stalk. If the lamp flashes then the fault is in the stalk.

The relays are different types so don't go swapping them.

Well, I'm not lying, I did check all the fuses. Those that were there.

Started down the checks then returned to the fuse just to check 15 specifically. It had fallen out.

Chucked in a new one and hey presto, indicators

I've taken the liberty of making it a double.

Let's keep it between us that I also failed to reinstate one of the other fuses leading to a set of dead instruments..
