My lil truck didn't like me this morning and decided that the indicators shouldn't work anymore :(
The lights still work so I'm 99.9998% sure it's an electrical thing, not something stuffed up with the actual indicator switch. When I got to the train station I hit the hazards and they worked but revs were going +- about 500rpm in time with the lights!!! Turned them off..and when I tried them again the don't work no more either hehe doh!!!
So I had a real quick look for the fuse (about 1.2 seconds) but my train was coming so I had to go.
Anyone know where the fuse for the indicators is so I can quickly check it before driving home tonight? Otherwise I'll just use hand signals hehe
If you got trailer plug check that.
Removed it , disconnect all the wires and leave them loose.
Put new fuse and try indicators.
If they work then you have a short circuit on the plug connectors.
I recently...eerr...ripped my trailer plug off leaving the wires exposed
Last night noticed the cable hanging down so I wrapped it around the bar at the rear...suspect I may have caused the short by doing that and in turn done the fuse...
Sweet info guy! I'll check it at the trainstation tonight

I've learned they go hard up here, not giving me much time for repairs I'll clean it up (lot of mud still under there at the moment hehe), tape it up, and stow it neatly somewhere...not like these things have lots of grunt to tow anyway, removed my ball and that's my rear recovery point now
I removed the tow ball from the tounge. Was initially a real bitch of a job trying to remove the nut from the thread. Had a few coats of black paint on it. Nothing 30 seconds with the wire brush on the grinder couldn't fix up tho
Heathers dad added the removed towball to the stuff he is selling in his garage sale this weekend
Actually used the tounge for a recovery on saturday night, shackle went through, pulled the zook up the hill no worries
I've actually been looking for the original Feroza recovery point that bolts on where the towbar goes. Don't see any reason why (with longer bolts) it couldn't be bolted on top of the towbar.
'cause depending on how long your towball tongue is, you probably won't be able to fit a hitch on the ball as the loop will stick out too far.
I had to remove my towbar (too high off the ground - hurts a little bit higher than your shins when you run into it ) and got a Nissan Patrol recovery hoop to fit - without adjustment to the holes !!!
