Kilps Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Evening! So my Supra has been off the road for a couple of months whilst I got round to replacing a leaking coolant pipe. That's all sorted so now of course something else has gone wrong. My indicators don't work. They were fine before the car had sat for a while. Hazards work fine on all four corners and side repeaters; side lights work (facelift combined sidelight/indicator units); headlights work; tail lights work. I checked the fuse (7.5A 'Turn' fuse in drivers footwell) and it was blown. Replaced and still nothing; checked again and the new fuse was blown. Any ideas what's causing the fuse to blow?

a98pmalcolm Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I had an issue years back. I can't remember whether the hazards still worked but there was deffo an issue with indicators. Mine was a wire that worked its way under the battery and semi split from being crushed. Does the fuse pop when the ignition is turned on or when you try and indicate?

Kilps Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Does the fuse pop when the ignition is turned on or when you try and indicate? I'm not sure. I've only checked the fuse after using the indicators so far. I might get a pack of fuses that I can blow through and do some testing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thats Is what I was going to suggest. Start the car and check, if it hasn't gone great. Indicate one side, if it blows, replace and try the other said, if that blows I'm not sure what to suggest. But if its only 1 side that makes the fuse go take 1 bulb out at a time and replace the fuse each time, hopefully you will then find out which corner or side is dicking about so you know where to start checking all wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilps Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah I'll have a go at that tomorrow. I had made the assumption that it wouldn't be the light units. Surely if it were, the hazard fuse would blow too? I was expecting it to be something unique to the indicator circuit... but I don't know what that includes! The switch obviously. Do you know anything else that's on the indicator circuit but not the hazard circuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
