thanks to brianmoore i managed to fix my indicator problems, which turned out to be because of a faulty hazard switch.

now all my dash lights have stopped working, ive checked all the fuses and they are fine, ive also had a good look at all the wiring which seems to be in good order.

one test that ive done is with the rear screen heater switch, it lights up whilst the ignition is in the 'on' position but goes out as soon as i pull put the headlight switch to either position.

from this im guessing that the headlight switch is faulty...

are there any further tests i can do at the wiring behind the switch to see if it is the switch that is at fault.

thanks dudes

Just sounds like a loose connection.
What happens when you take the hazard switch back out ?
