Hi guys!

I have a rather urgent problem, and am hoping one of you guys will have experienced this before...

I drive a 1997 V8 disco, and connected up a trailer this morning. The trailer lights didn't all work, but I figured it was a broken bulb or something like that. Re-started disco 10 minutes after checking lights and after I drove off, I realised that my indicator lights weren't working anymore when indicating (Neither are the trailer's lights) Even the normal "relay-click" sound is missing, just dead. They do all work when I put on the Hazards-lights. Took the trailer off, checked all the fuses, restarted but still no joy. Anyone any ideas?

Yours confusingly!

Hi, Fuse 1 (15 Amp) is for the Indicators and Fuse 4 (30 Amp) is for the hazards. It’s got to have blown fuse 1.
Fuse 1 is the top one on the left hand vertical row of fuses, they are numbered going down the column
Check if you have voltage to fuse 1
Let me know how you get on

Then check the trailer wiring, sounds like you connected a fault to the car by plugging in the trailer!

The plug and trailing cable would be the most likely to be damaged, but depending on the trailers use and storage - it could be anywhere!

Thank you very very much for your help! I am sorry I hadn't thanked you earlier, but as I was away from my PC...

Can't believe I missed that fuse!

My brakelight switch also blew... meaning that my brakelights still worked, but that the ABS brakes didn't...

Thanks again!
