Indicator Failure

Post by ihatemondays »

Not sure if this is the right section, but have a quick question about an issue with my 120y.

I was driving home yesterday and at some point indicated right. No click. Just solid light. Left worked fine. Have just done all of my fuses so checked them and they were fine. I realised that the front right wasn't working at all and i figure this has something to do with the issue. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells bulbs/will be able to set me on the right track for getting wiring to that light fixed if that's the case.

Cheers folks,

Evan

check all your bulbs are good, and all wiring / connections.
chances are a blown bulb I would think
as soon as you lose one, all the circuit resistance goes up the fuk,
and the flasher unit may not work at all or extremely slowly

Turned out to be a blown bulb and some corrosion on the contact. Cleaned it up, replaced the bulbs and she's working a treat now.

Cheers all!
