Adrian Bridge Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 HiDoes anyone have a link to a diagram or labelled photo of K-series fuse / relays (on bulk head passenger foot well)? Indicators suddenly stopped working today when out for a blat. Both directions. Hazards work OK. I have reviewed a helpful TechTalk article from 23/4/03 "Turn indicators not working". I think problem must be the indictor switch or the fuse/ relay. I have no manual for my 1996 1.6 K series so no diagram of the switches/ relays and I don't want to start pulling them out until I know which one could be the problem. There is a thread on Pistonheads with useful diagrams of the fuse positions and function but as far as I can tell this covers sigma and duratec cars only.Many thanksAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Cycle the hazard warning light switch a few times... does that make any difference?For the diagrams: please send me a Private Mail with details of the 7 and your email address.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted April 29, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted April 29, 2018 What Jonathan says. Switch hazards on and off a few times. Normally cures it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 And push all the relays home . They live behind the fuses. Can shake loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Agree that working the hazard switch on and off repeatedly is the first thing to try. And make sure that, when OFF, the switch is pressed fully home.Also, post #5 here explains the circuitry. As you'll discover, it's a bit odd, to say the least.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted April 30, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted April 30, 2018 I had a similar problem a couple of years ago - although I think mine only stopped working in one direction... anyway, after a bit of playing around I ordered a new dash indicator switch from Redline - problem solved!

revilla Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If it helps, the diagram below shows the indicator and hazard light circuit. It's a bit easier to read than when it's all tangled in with the complete vehicle wiring diagram. I adapter this from a Classic Mini diagram; they use basically the same Lucas system, but I've updated it and corrected the wire colours etc. as required.

Adrian Bridge Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks everybody for the advice and sharing the circuit diagrams. I'll have a fiddle with the car on my next day off and hope I can sort itAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Got back to a seriously drowned Seven at 1700 for the last few miles home. And no waterproofs.Indicators worked OK one side but only buzzed the other. Hazard warning lights only buzzed. Drove home with hand signals and caution.This morning armed with the accumulated wisdom of BlatChat I switched them on and off a few times. They now all work, but the buzzing still happens when I press the hazard warning light switch slightly and well before it clicks. That might be a useful sign to other sufferers.JonathanPS: Engine also stuttered shortly after starting but was then fine. K series and that's never happened before.

Colin Cooper Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I've also had this a couple of times.I think its because the hazard switch is rarely used, and the contacts corrode. Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
