What colour wire are the indicators on the stalk? Mine have stopped working along with brake lights for some strange reason

What year/model Mini are we talking about? I'll take a look at the wiring diagram and come back to you

Not strange - top fuse is my guess
Main fuses (four-fuse fuse block - later models)
Fuse connecting Rating (amp) Circuits protected

Thanks but I dont really understand that?

The top fuse in the fuse box on the bulkhead (under the bonnet) powers the stop lights (brake lights) and the indicator relay, along with heated rear screen and reverse lights - check if your heated screen works - if not, you have a dodgy fuse.

[its_courts28]

It's not connected atm, if I try the reverse lights would that point towards the fuse?

[KernowCooper]

Right here we are courts

Green/white is Indicator Right
Green/Red is Indicaror Left

Brake light is Green Purple

Thanks, I cut the purple wire and was worried it was the indicators.

No indicators, brake lights or reverse lights

Have you checked the fuses as suggested above? have you got a 12v feed on both sides of the fuses connections with the ignition on.

[its_courts28]

How could I check the fuse and voltage? Would it be ok to try swapping the fuse with another one from the fuse box to see if it works?

[KernowCooper]

Visually check the fuse, but remember they are different amps so not swapible, but to sucessfully diagnose and fix electrical faults you do really need a volt meter, otherwire its guess work

Where was the purpule you cut? for reference purple is used on the headlight flash switch

Left stalk, thought it was the wire for the horn that was wired up wrong

The flash still works though?
