Lol or you could just plug it into the hazard switch. Whatever is easier i guess, i just think its a bit difficult to get both wires to the stalks without modification/extra wire.. Lol car fire.. with the amount of diy electrical ive done wouldnt surprise me..

don't suppose anyone's come across this, or has any suggestions?

You want the central locking kit to control the indicators? Where's your alarm hooked up?

If you're after visible notification of lock/unlock and don't have an alarm, use a relay as suggested. Hook the control unit up to the 30 terminal, ground to 87, 85 to ground, 86 to the indicator harness on the steering column.

Sorry, getting confusing with two people in the one thread. See my edit above.

Oh you dont have an alarm. By the way i have already done this incase anyone was wondering if i still have the problem (old thread). I didnt know that you didnt have an alarm, this is probably why you were having trouble with my method lol, the alarm brain already has the relay in it or something similar so the wired can be directly connected.

I assume with the numbers you're talking about the relay? can you get these from supercheap or autobarn?
thanks
