Title: TJ indicators
Post by: scrw on June 08, 2016, 07:00:12 PM
Do the indicators and hazards share a relay? If not where is the indicator one? Indicators just died taking the TJ for its mot  :banghead: Off out now so need to tell the garage the fix. By any chance will the relay match anything on my WJ breaker?

I don't remember exactly but mine had an issue a few years ago. I think they are both run through the hazard switch. Mine was dirty and if I moved it back and forth it they would all start working again.

It is the same relay as the hazards and as Delk says cycling the hazards on and off several times may get them working again. Eventually the switch will probably need replacing.

Mine are currently not working, along with the radio, which is due to bad connection in the ignition switch (common fault).  Just waiting for a replacement unit.

Interesting, radio fubar too. Is it a repairable thing or will need new parts?

I had the same problem with mine when I bought it. Advice here was the ignition switch and I had all good intentions of changing it. After 6 months the problem cleared up and hasn't reappeared for a couple of years.

 I do get a bit twitchy around MOT time but other than that, all good.

My ignition switch is lazy too, I now have the right jiggle knack for getting the radio and indicators on. Would be interested to know the fix (source switch etc)
