Hi guys.

Driving from Chester to Welshpool yesterday in my 1991 ex mod 90 and my Indicators, Horn and Washer stopped working. I replaced both stalks and the hazard switch last year with new Lucas items so I doubt those are the culprit. The wipers still work. Weird.

I got today to look at it as tomorrow I'm supposed to be going to see a rally in Wales.

Any ideas or things for me to look at other than bulbs and fuses? Any help or experience would be great.
 
Check the wiring on the near side front, under the bonnet, maybe hiding under the inner wheel arch. Check from bulkhead to where they terminate.
Also check the fuses, of course, I think the washer is on a different fuse to the other two, but maybe not!
 
@v8250 is probably going to take home the prize today. The horn, indicators and washer don’t normally have a shared earth (me thinks), but as it’s ex-MoD and conversion, the wiring would almost certainly have been meddled with. Behind the NS plastic light panel is probably where the earthing point is, you may be able to see it from under the bonnet. This is definitely [maybe] the area you need to be looking in.
If all else fails, nick a BMW badge and stick it on, then you are not legally obliged to need indicators.
