EmmaScott Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 My husband built a Caterham a couple of years back now. Unfortunately he was killed in an accident (not a caterham one) just before Christmas. I've decided to carry his passion on a keep driving the car but mechanics and engineering are not at all my strong point. When I was driving it yesterday the indicators stopped working. All the other lights work. I'm staying with family so don't have the build manual at hand. Could anyone shed any light on what the problem may be / where I can start looking (or can get someone else to!!) Regards E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony isherwood Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Try switching the hazard light switch on/off a few times. Its a known problem with Caterhams that the hazard switch can cause problems if knocked "off" slighly by passengers getting tnto the car. ( 2nd 3rd switch from the LHS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Sewell Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Also ensure that the flasher light relay is well seated in the fuse box above the passenger footwell. I have had that fall out as I drove along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Barbie Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Emma I wouldn't be too concerned at a lack of technical knowledge, BlatChat is just one example of seven owners helping each other out and you'll have no trouble finding help no matter how small the problem. I admire you for keeping the passion for the car going and hope 2002 treats you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Perry Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Emma, Yes keep it up, you will have plenty of fun and make lots of new friends. Don't worry about your lack of knowledge and don't be afraid to ask what you might think are stupid questions.One thing I have noticed here, which is much to Blatchats credit is that those that are still learning don't get patronised when they ask basic questions. Long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
