P38A Indicators not working

Salisbury Nick · Jul 27, 2022

Hi all, any pointers on where I should look to diagnose/fix the indicators not responding when they should?
I have a copy of RAVE but flicked through several hundred pages on my ipad and not found anything relevant yet. No reference to them in the manual for which fuse they are on, or could it be a relay?

Cheers
Nick

Do the hazards work? If they do then the wiring is probably OK.

If the hazards work, it may well be a broken wire to the indicator stalk where it flexes.

Thanks to you and @Datatek - I’ll check and come back.

Good news. Both hazards and indicators are actually working, it is just the audible ‘tick’ that has disappeared.

That "tick" is generated by the BeCM.

Oh. It does not sound good then if it’s a BeCM fault?

I think it is just a pulse/signal sent to a "sounder" of come kind. I just went to check mine and the sound itself is coming from somewhere inside the binnacle.
So it may just be a wiring fault or your sounder has gone bad. The sounder clicks in time with the lighting of the L/R turn binnacle lamp(s)

On the back of the instrument cluster is a speaker that does all the dreaded beep beeps
Maybe someone has disconnected it so they can drive in piece with out fear.

Easy way to check it is leave the key in the ignition and the drivers door open?
Mine beeps constantly and displays "Key in Ignition" until I remove the key OR close the door.

years ago my indicators did not beep. at the same time the high/low transfer motor stopped working.i took the motor off made up some link wires to con the becm into thinking the motor was in high, and boom the indicators were beeping again.

My L322 does that, but the p38 never has.

Must be a software version thing then.

My P38's beep once with the message "key in ignition" when the drivers door is opened.
