Burnt out rear indicator unit!

(1/2) > >>

beatmasterdave:
hi all, ok i think i know what happened here but here we go... :oops:

basicly, the rear passengers side indicator unit is burnt out and now all indicators and hazards dont work. the unit is melted and scorched. i think maybe the bulb must of been in contact with the plastic. grrrr is this a possibility?

whats the best way to fix this temperaly? isolate that corner and put a new fuse in? :?

Range Rover Blues:
Yes, I'd have thought so.

hobbit:
Are the other 3 indicators still working?

The fuse for that side controls both front and rear, another check may be the relays, they can only take so much if it shorts through

Its a case of trial and error, try a test bulb on the burnt out side on the wiring to see if its still getting live, worth checking the earth wire on that side, it may have well taken a heavy load on the short

beatmasterdave:
ok, all the fuses are ok, and i taped off that rear passengers side. still nothing all round, no indicators of hazards :x  :x  :x  grrrrrrrrrrrrr
looking forward to waste most of tomorow trying to fix it :?  :cry:

hobbit:
Relays may be worth a check, best with an analog meter, or test bulb on a couple of wires to test the connections and outputs
