Default Indicator Problem

A few days ago my passenger side front indicator stopped working, the rear & side blinks really fast which lead me to think that the bulb had gone.

I replaced the bulb with a new one and the same problem exists, I've checked all the wiring and all the fuses and still no joy.

Today I took the drivers side out and popped in the passenger side and still the same problem

Anyone have any ideas what it could be?



Cheers,


Edward

If it hasn't blown the fuse, you haven't a short.
Try checking the wiring further back.

mr physics man since when is it possible it might be a fuse, there is not a car on the market which as a separate fuse per light, why do you constantly guess at these electrical questions when you have obviously to experience in the job.

Where did I say it was a fuse, mastermind?

Instead of TRYING to be clever at someone else's expense, why not try ACTUALLY helping the OP. Oh, and try reading what was written before jumping in, there's a good lad.

The indicators are fused, yes?
If the fuse hasn't blown, which the OP didn't say, then the indicator circuit is unlikely to have a short circuit, yes?

Therefore the problem must be somewhere in the wiring...dirty, corroded, or broken, or even unplugged, connectors are a possibility.

As is a misplaced/broken/corroded earth, and even a corroded bulb holder.

But hey...what do I know, I'm no electrician......except that the supposed electrician has given NO help other than criticise me. LOL.
