Indicators not working on the osf

[christophsbmw]

Right my indicators have stoped working on the osf i can hear the relay clicking and the hazords work fine any one got any ideas

[Grrrmachine]

Hazards work fine meaning the light glows with the hazard switch?

If not, it'll probably be corrosion of the pins meaning you need to take the lamp out to assess. That's a bumper-off job.

[christophsbmw]

Yea lights work when hazords pressed for got to add the problem has only started since i put my dash back it

[christophsbmw]

Just looked and the fog light flashes with the hazords

[christophsbmw]

Solved the fog light flashing thats an earth juat cant get the osf indicators working

[christophsbmw]

Dose any one know wherebyhese plugs go

[rich318i]

looks like OBC wiring to me

[christophsbmw]

O right that wouldnt stop. My indicators tho would it.

[rich318i]

na. sounds like a simple fix though

[christophsbmw]

You say that i been looking for an hour

[rich318i]

and the relay stays at the same speed even with one of them not lighting up?

[christophsbmw]

No the relay speeds up like a bulb has gone only when you turn to the os none of the os indicators are working. The other side and hazards work fine.

[christophsbmw]

Sorry i keep puting osf its just the drivers side mot working all 3

[rich318i]

Have you looked at the Wiki?

If the lights work from the Hazard switch, but not from the stalk, then it's the wiring between the stalk and the switch.

Cheets for that i think it might be my glove box Switch as its broken is there any way of by passing it.

Glove box switch problems knock out all the indicators, not just one

[rich318i]

sounds like a job for brianmoore.

[christophsbmw]

Well there is no glove box switch just 2 wires.

[Grrrmachine]

No switch = no problem.

As I said, the problem is either at the indicator stalk or the hazard switch.

[rich318i]

check the relay at the stalk could have a cracked soilder (dry) somewhere. they open up easy. had the same sort of problem with mine (were none worked) there was a cracked soilder and just soilderd it up and job done. thinking about it now my hazards did worked

[christophsbmw]

Ok will have to try that monday as i cant get the steering wheel of untill then. But thevrelay sounds like its working fine. And its not the relay switch that works fine as well.

[rich318i]

pm brainmoore his gd at this sort of stuff

[christophsbmw]

I think its one of them plugs that has been pulled down from the indicator stalk.

[rich318i]

them ones in your pics? if thats what u mean are nothing to do with the indicator. the green on any way!! you got me thinking now about the other one lol

[christophsbmw]

Yea the other one isbthe one im thinking because its by the indicator stalk.

[rich318i]
