Indicator problem

Postby peterwho » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:44 pm

Hey guys wondering if I could get some help, indicators aren't lighting up the signal relay is working-makes the noise. I replaced it with a working one to be sure. Still no success, hazard light switch when on doesn't work either. And no green indicator lights on the cluster any suggestions fellas? And I checked the fuse box to be sure stuff wasn't loose.

Do your headlights work fine?

"I replaced it with a working one to be sure" - How are you sure it is working? But you do say you can hear the relay clicking which suggests it's functioning.

Do you have voltage tester like this?

What you could do is;

1. Turn on hazard lights, make sure you can hear the relay clicking
2. Get your voltage tester and start narrowing down where the failure is. For example, start at the battery, and then the fuse for the Indicator/hazard circuit(it might be blown), relay terminals and finally at the indicator bulb. Your voltage tester should flash in time with the relay clicks.
