Indicators in Dash not flashing

[Dave Dyer]

Hi,

As the title really, I'm putting everything back slowly and have been checking the lights, indicators, stop lights etc.
Nothing worked, but changing bulbs, flasher unit and stop lamp switch (all were working before I started the restoration) things started working again!

But the green indicator flasher lights in the dash aren't working. Before I remove it all (not looking forward to that bit, it was bad enough putting it in!) does anyone have any pointers what I can check first? (the bulbs are ok)

Thanks,
Dave

Check the connector onto the printed circuit is seated properly. I think you might be able to reach it from underneath but does not take much to get the instrument panel out.

Thankyou Alan, I pulled out the connectors, cleaned best I could with a fibre stick, a spray of contact cleaner and refitted and hey presto the lights are now working! Plus the illumination lights also work (which I hadn't noticed they were out before)

Thats helped massively, saving me time and boosting my moral !!

THANKS

Amazing how that works. Only 127 more connectors to go.
