 Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:35 pm Post subject: Landie indicator question |
 |
|
I've an indicator not working and need a bit of help.
It's just the one indicator (rear offside), and no other problems. It's not a problem with:
Bulb
Light unit
Bit the light unit plugs into (this and all above replaced and checked)
Don't think it's a fuse either (I can only find 3 or 4 fuses so I'm guessing it'd be a problem with more than one light if it was).
So, I'm guessing it's a wiring issue? Any other suggestions? And where the heck to I start when trying to trace a wiring fault?

| have you looked at the earth on the light, there should be a wire attached to the body , coming off the light unit, inside , check its tight, you could undo it, give it a clean with some sand paper , then tighten it up again, and smear a bit of vaseline on it after youve tightened it. if that doesnt sort it, then its time to get a meter thingy, voltmeter or what ever its called |

thats the one  just couldnt think at the time,
worth having in your tool kit, there about 8 quid for a reasonable one these days. if you dont mind me saying, id go for a electric digital one. |
