driver side front indicator not working

Post by type53b »

Lads I have a problem, today the driver side front indicator stopped working. I checked the bulb ,its good, changed I anyway for a new one. Still no joy, all the other indicators work as do the hazards but no right front. I put a multi meter on the bulb holder terminals and there is power getting to it but only about 7 to 8 volts. I also tried 2 different relays and still it won't work.????? Where do I go from here???? Thanks


remember, if it's got tit's or tyre's, sooner or later it's gonna give you trouble.

OK I got this sorted. Normal service has resumed. Down to dodgy connections in the end, all good now.

Glad it's fixed and just a bad connection, had a few rusty sockets in my time :-D

It was down to a loose pin on one of the multi plugs (c18) going into the back of my crappy ceramic fuse fusebox. Do you know how to tighten up the female pins on these?
