Strange lights!
davidbennett:
I've recently spent some time pimping my ride. It's a 2004 TD5 Defender.
I've changed the front indicators to clear Britpart units, yellow bulbs supplied with the lenses.
On the first trip, using the indicators blew their fuse. Checking the hazzard lights blew that fuse. After changing the fuses and both blowing again, they have settled down with the third set of fuses and are working fine.
Now the indicators (all) do not flash on lock/unlock of the central locking and the siren sounds once on unlocking. I have read that this may be the fob batteries getting low?? All other fuses appear fine. I wondered if the new yellow bulbs were a different wattage and affecting the system; I've yet to check this. I may stick the original indicators back on to check.
Any ideas?

tried different yellow bulbs? i hear britpart gear is pants! im sure theres no difference in bulbs other than the colour of the glass
zulublue:
Are the new bulbs LED, as you need a additional unit if so.
davidbennett:
No, they're 12v 21w yellow bulbs. Perhaps there's another indicator fuse to do with the alarm?
davidbennett:
Just checked the other bits connected with the alarm.
The horn does not sound when the alarm is set off, but does work with the instrument stalk.
I can hear the relay for the indicators working when the (silent) alarm is going off, but with no lights lighting.
Is there a fuse I've missed or another relay somewhere? I've heard that a faulty hazzard light switch can cause problems?
