Hi,trying to find the right section for my post? New to the site. Mine is a series 3 1974. I have identified and connected the indicator switch to all the wires on it apart from a plain blue wire. It seems to be from the headlamp flash section of the switch. Appreciate any advice and apologies if I am in the wrong section

Hi, what exactly is your question, there is a blue wire which goes from the indicator switch to the light switch.

+1 on Col's post. The blue wire goes to terminal 8 on the light switch. It's the input to the dip/main switch on the combination indicator + lights stalk.

where you have Thatcham in the top right of your posts the op seems to have pout his postcode, how I quoted your message from another thread I don't know I was trying to quote the first post in this thread. so I have altered that post to tag the op and booked into specsavers for this afternoon

Ah, ok. I thought I was missing something fundamental, it wouldn't be the first time.where you have Thatcham in the top right of your posts the op seems to have pout his postcode, how I quoted your message from another thread I don't know I was trying to quote the first post in this thread. so I have altered that post to tag the op and booked into specsavers for this afternoon

Thanks that the right wire and it is now connected, thanks
Just wiring up my ex mil 109 now, going civvy and not too complicated but is there a wiring diagram about other than the one in the manuals because that one doesn't show any of the indicator switch wiring. ie the multi plug and the purple , blue and other assorted wires that come out of it. I know the blue one has been answered and thats a help but just want a diagram to follow really.
Thanks

Which manual do you have?
http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/manuals/series3wm/7_electrical_5mb_engine_supplement.pdf , pages 2 and 3 of that PDF (pages 86-6 and 86-7 of the manual) show a mostly relevant circuit diagram. The awkward this is that the stalk is split between switches 3, 25, and 30, so no easy to recognise switch unit with a muilti-way connector.
Or have I missed the problem?
Yes it is awkward just wondered if there was a better diagram anywhere, I've got the green book, the black book in a folder...even a hard bound red version but they all have the same diagram which doesn't show the switch as a whole.
I will work it out eventually but looking for a shortcut really as its giving me a headache (of course that might be the homebrew).
Edit : Actually that simple statement has made me look at it a different way I think its making sense now, thanks for that.
Cheers.

What will really give you a headache is if you decide to add hazard lights, too...
