Front indicator not flashing?
« on: 30 March 2011, 16:45 »
Front indicator not working. Bulb is fine, fuse is fine, I can’t see any bad corrosion in any of the plugs etc.
Emergency flash lights working on all (including the rear indicators and one indicator)...I think it might be a short but where is the obvious place it would be?
It’s a 1989 F plate Mk2

If the 4 way flashers are all working then work from the stalk forwards.....
