My mother only ever calls when her computer breaks.. I feel a little bit the same, as i haven't been on here for ages.. Although I move house next week, and i Have a garage where i can start to strip the series 3 and rebuild.. only been 10 years sat there rotting away in the back garden.. I think at that [point I will be getting back into hours spent reading groups and generally getting back into Landrover life!

To my question, if anyone can point me in the right direction.. My indicators stopped working ( I should have listened to shw who knows best, dont jetwash the defender before its MOT.. ) first time i indicated ( turning left into the MOT garage, spark, pop, instant MOT fail! )

after some reading, i found something that sugested testing the hazard lights.. and they all work like a dream, but dead on the indicators.

somethings I read saugest relay, some flasher unit.. ( this is the lack of knowledge talking, but is that the same thing? )

next problem, my defender is a frankinrover, the past owners have moved a lot of things, and the last garage that had it started a small fire in the cab, very nice of them.. the auto elctric guy that fixed it for me, started to put some things back where they were supposed to be ( there was no fuse box in the middle of the cab, there now is.. ) but i am not convinced all is where the manual says it should be..

how on earth do I confirm the relay i am pulling is the correct relay? is there a flasher.. anyone that understands these things point me in the right direction, even if its the next diagnostics step..

Cheers Guys!

If I were you, i'd be tempted to call the autospark that fitted the fusebox ...

This old thread may help ...

If you put your hazards on you should be able to hear/feel a click if they are working and that will be your relay your looking for normally sits behind fuses but the clicking should give it away if elsewhere.

if your hazards are working the relay may not be the issue it could be the indicator stalk

so the indicators and the hazards share the relay?? that implies its not that, as the hazards do work.. would that make sense?

as for the stalk.. there was a spark from the fuse area, could have been behind the fuses, could have been fuses, but the indicator caused it, so I assumed it was something in the middle, as that sparked, would a stalk "blow" or die from a fuse etc??

I visually checked all fuses and all seem to look fine.. i guess similar question, do the indicators and the hazards share the same fuse?

Have you removed the black fuse cover?
There should be a fuse layout picture on the rear.
Post a photo of what it’s like & should be able to tell fuses
