[Austin mini 30]

Hi there,

             

I have an 1989 Austin mini 30 (limited edition) and i've been having trouble with the left indicator. The hazards work fine, also the right indicator works fine but the left indicator does not work at all. Does anyone have an idea what the problem would be? Is it the stalk? 

 

Cheers

Angus

Could be the stalk or wiring

thanks for the speedy reply!! will the hazard switch itself have anything to do with it?

Is it both left indicators or just one? Could be an earth fault

If all the lights work when the hazards are running the. It's not the hazard switch. It points to the stalk but could be a wire fault between the stalk and hazard switch plug. Do you have a meter to test with?

It is the left indicator, front left, rear left, wing and arrow dash light for the left indicator do not come on at all but the right one is fine

Check the earth's at the front of the car??

[Austin mini 30]

Thats a good idea. Thats the job for tomorrow sorted then! really appreciate your help guys, i'll have a go at it tomorrow and see what happens

Well I've cleaned all the earths and still no left indicator. No power is getting to the light. Does this point to the stalk?

Had the whole dash out today- cleaned it up and now both indicators work!! Cheers for your help, cleaning earths certainly helped

Was it te connection on your stalk that was the issue?

It turned out to be a broken connection at the fusebox, replaced the connection and it has never been better!! Cleaning all the earths certainly helped though
