Front indicators no flashy flashy

  1. Hi all hope u are all good!

    replace my indicator housing for new ones. Was working last week somewhere along the line I have knocked it.
    doh!
    so flasher works Lh. side hazard works on both. Although the rh is not as bright as the lh. I haven’t touched the wires honest!

    I did go for a drive and the brake light came on which it has never worked before I’m sure I have one or two loose connections.
    any ideas what I should check ? First bulb is fine unit works old one didn’t

    trouble is I’m colour blind so tracing wires is fun.

    thanks in advance!

    Check the fuse box for loose wires, then the earth on the flashers, particularly the rear ones that have tendency to drop off when you mess in the noisy cupboard

    If hazard flashes work and indicators don't then that's going to be around the hazard flasher switch that disconnects the indicator circuits and connects them up as hazard flashers.

    The other thing you may have trouble with is that the front indicators have earth wires which you might not have cleaned up sufficiently when you changed the indicator bulb units.
