Help i have just put the body back on after chassis refurb.
i have a few problems.
what earth feeds the passenger front indicator, all the earths have been cleaned and connected with new bolts but the front passenger side indicator will not flash unless i run i direct earth to it, the one on the wing works fine. electrics are not my strong point, also the screen wash doesn't work i haven't investigated this yet to see if they are related.
The other thing i have replaced all the bushes with super flex poly and new gaz gold pros suspension. the ride seems very hard and seems to thud over every bump the spring rates are 325 on the rear and 400 on the front and i have tried raising and lowering the ride height doesn't seem to make much difference i have only driven the car a couple of hundred yards up my road any one with any suggestions much appreciated thanks.

The front ones all collect together and are crimped into that one big ring terminal that bolts to the chassis under the rad. You could have sheared the wire within the loom or its come out of the crimp at either end ~ you need to peel back some of the loom tape to see.

The collected earths really need addressing when you have access IMHO, remaking the crimps cleanly, packing with grease and then reinforcing / insulating / protecting with heat-shrink is my preferred solution.
