Hello guys. Struggling to work out why my indicator bc button isn't working. This has stopped 10 years ago when I had my Clifford alarm professionally installed. It never really bothered me much as the car spent most its life in storage. I finally bought a house with a garage where i can now tinker wife my pride and joy . I have done a continuity test on the pins on the indicator switch and the bc button is making contact. So I have notice there is a blue single pin connector and nothing is going to it . I have spent a good half hour searching for a wiring around that area that would plug into that thinking it's come off while he did the alarm and i cannot find anything. Am i on the right track here is something suppose to connect to this inorder for it to work . If so where dose the wire come from. Any help would be much appreciated

On my car,the single cable you are looking for hangs down from where the main OBC loom loops over the top of the instrument-cluster

Cheers biffer
I have searched around and cannot see it at all .
I got round looking and understanding the wiring diagram and I beleave it's coming from pin 4 of the obc . So I will trace it from there and hopfully will see if I can locate it . Weekend job now . Thank u

Mine is a single thin, black wire, a few inches long,with the blue connector on the end, and it hangs down either just to the left of the cluster,or behind it-can't remember which

Fixed!!!!!!

Finally found that wire tucked behind the centre console. God knows how it's got there.
Cheers. :D
