Have I blown the switches

Trumar · Apr 13, 2023

Evening everyone! Yes I’m still here lol and yes I’m still having headaches with the wiring!! My go to working electrics that I check every time I go to my truck is the two speed heater and the windscreen wipers they have always worked but today they have decided to stop working I have checked their wiring that is all good! Fuses are all good could I of blown the switches when trying to sort the indicators out? I do have the dash panel all open as I’m rewiring it as I go along.

How many fuses have you got?
Not many on a series motor

You’ve probably dislodged a wire

Check the earths. Add more earths. Can't have too many earths.

Ok I will try that out. So I haven’t blown the switches?

Its unlikely that the switches have blown if they still feel ok. Despite not have relays, the standard landy switches on a series are fairly robust. However, there have been reports of aftermarket switches being a bit dodgy.

I would bypass the switch with a short jumper wire with a male spade on each end. If this makes things work again then you know the switch is at fault it is how I diagnosed my switch failure when I lost my headlights. The new replacement switches do not last very long so if they have been replaced then it is more likely to be the switch. However it would be a real coincidence if both switches decided to fail at the same time.

Check the fuse box for corrosion on the tabs the fuses slot in to.

I blew my britpart headlamp switch in exactly 22 minutes. That’s how long it took from twilight to home.

No corrosion on fuse box fuse holders all good.
