ok - heres the latest problem with my fourtrack
the indicators blow fuses everytime i use the indicators,
even the hazard warning lights are doing this,
i know theres a problem somewhere,
but cam anyone point me in the right direction of where to look first???
and has anyone got the wiring diagram for this truck??
l.w.b 2.8 turbo diesel
Wires
A positive wire is being earthed. Possibly between the lamp and the indicator stalk. Start by checking each flasher lamp, a positive wire/terminal is probably faulty and connecting lamp unit direct to earth rather than conducting to the bulb.
You could remove each flasher bulbs and then find the problem using a 12v test unit on the positive side of each bulb - obviously dont switch on the flasher but check conductivity for each bulb to find which is triping the fuse.
sorted - thanks, did the met
sorted - thanks,
did the methodical approach,
tested each of indicators for problems = non there,
tried everything,
when i removed the panel under the dash to find the flasher unit,
incase this was scrap,
i removed it - checked it off the 4trak,
and all was ok,
it wasnt untill i replaced it
turned ignition on,
and in a fit of despair threw it back,
that i saw a bright flash !!!!
at some point a wire has been added to the flasher relay,
and then just cut away,
leaving a bare end of the cable = no insulation
so wire removed,
all now works as it should
thanks
