Scott Dabinett Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Indicator fuse keeps blowing! Anyone have any idea why it could be? On a 1999 roadsport! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 9, 2013 Member Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm trying to work out the most efficient route to find the problem. How often does it happen? Is there anything that you suspect makes it blow? What work have you done on the car recently? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I had my indicator bulb in dash causing a short. Blowing all hazards & indicators. If its just one side they have separate fuses ( on my 1996) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Try pushing the relay modules home behind the fuse rail. They can work looser. Also turn the hazard light switch on and off a few times to clean the switch contacts. Common fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 10, 2013 Member Share Posted January 10, 2013 Other possible causes from the archives include shorting from damage to insulation of the feed wires as they enter the headlamp bracket, and from exposed feed wires to the switch.

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Welcome to BC by the way. Are you related to the existing Dabinett ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnty Lyons Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Have you got repeaters on front wings first place to look for a short IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dabinett Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks for the advise I will have a look at the weekend! And yes the existing Dabinett is my dad :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil M Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have a roadsport of similar age Scott and recently one of my front repeaters on the cycle wings kept failing to operate. On inspection I found the protective sleeve was hard brittle and cracked. At this point of weakness the live wire feeding around suspecsion arms and at a point where it articulates had broken. I would have a close inspection of the condition of these wire runs.. When you have sorted it grab a copy of Haynes 'Prctica l Electrical Systems'. Ready for next time! If you get really stuck shout a mobile motor sparky perhaps. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
