Oh deer, gv indicators not working?

Post by phantomworx » Fri Jun 20, 2014 4:37 am

Hi all
Im after a little advice.
A deer hit me a few weeks back. Bust the os headlight. Lights still worked but indicators flashed quickly. I could live with that so a week went then no indicators at all?
'The biggest gang in the world' had to stick their nose in a few days back. Luckily they didnt bill me, just sent me on my way. £38 later, a 2nd hand headlamp now fitted. But still no indicators? :er:

Any ideas?

Iv no manual for her and im a little apprehensive to go fiddle farting around with the gv electrickery as knowing me il trigger the ejector seat, airbags or something. Not sure what fuses/relays im looking for or where to?

Any feeback would be greatfully recieved.
Thanks in advance
Dan

An indicator flashing quickly is a blown bulb. Have you checked them?
If it ticks over...leave it

Will a bulb, if blown for long enough kill the relay?

That is the question? Either relay or flasher unit or something failed i think.im not sure but the bulbs are fine will check again. Not sure of location of any relay so if anybody had any info to hand. Would be great
