Check the fuses.

Have a look at the relays.

And stop shouting please.

Be fair, he's used to bimbling around in an old truck, probably with self-propelled dogfood in the back in half-ton lumps.

It's multimeter time. Sounds like your hazard switch and light switch are fubar, for a start.

Indicators won't work if you switch hazards on as that's the way the circuits meant to work, hazards not working could be a fault with the supply to the hazard switch or supply to the hazard flasher unit, if there is a purple wire going to the hazard switch.....that will be the one that should be the supply and it will come from a fuse, check the purple wire for power after making sure the fuse is good

The side headlight switch does the job of powering the side and tail lights and also the headlights, there could be a fault with the supply to this switch, if there is a brown wire going to this switch.....that will be the one that should be the supply and it will come from the battery positive via the fusebox or joint in the wiring loom and it could have a fusible link wired into it and that could be near the battery, check the brown wire for power, if there is power to the side/headlight switch then there is a very good chance that the switch is faulty but you will need to switch it on and check if power comes out of it to possibly a red wire for side and tail lights that will go to the fusebox and also check if power comes out of it to a blue wire which is the power to the headlights dip and main switch........If the side and headlight switch is built into the column switch that controls dip and main beam you wont be able to see the blue wire as it will be an internal link, you will still be able to see the red side lights power out wire, the blue and red dip beam out wire and the blue and white main beam out wire....check these wires for power when the side/headlight switch is in the on position

If all those colours I have posted up are incorrect....post back here with the colours that you have found and also if the side/head switch is built into the column switch that controls dip and main beam
