Hi all, appreciate all the help everyone has given on other posts, they have helped tremendously so far.

Current problem is the indicator fuse keeps blowing, but only when the engine is running. With only the ignition on the indicators work fine, as soon as the engine is started the fuse blows.

I have been pulling my hair out trying to find the cause of the issue but I'm really lost on this one.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Bad earth, water, does it do it with the hazards?

Hazards work fine. Both with engine on and just ignition.

Unplug the switch and check it. Could be gone

Is your alternator overcharging?

Was the problem there before the new hazard switch?

It was a different problem that was fixed with a new switch. I will double check the switch today just to he certain I haven't bought a dud.

I was thinking either dud switch or you have moved/caught something whilst in there.

Assuming fuse 3 have you checked your headers for water damage and the reverse light and other item gauges etc fed by this fuse
