Hi all… had the car a less then a week, I’m new to all this

1994 rover sprite
No indicators or break lights, indicator doesn’t even Tik when turned on

Changed all the fuses (some was looking a bit grim) so changed all 4. And still nothing, there doesn’t seem to be any loose connections with tin the stem or within the fuse box so now I’m a bit lost…

You need a power probe to check all circuits. Sounds to me like it could be the same issue I had with my 1993 sprite

(reverse light switch live would short on exhaust blowing top fuse)

When you replaced the fuses did you twist the ends of the fuses (if you can twist one end whilst the other stays fixed you need another fuse)

I will get back to you with which fuse you need to look at.

So, to update it would appear to be the top fuse you want to check for power both sides.

Does the interior light work? If not then there is an online fuse behind the carburettor (purple with orange tracer)

The below link gives what fuses do what, your car will be a 4 fuse fuse box (later car)

However here is the data you require from. The link above 😁

fuses (four-fuse fuse block - later models)
Fuse connecting Rating (amp) Circuits protected

1 and 2 35amp Stop lights, reversing lights, direction indicator relay, heated rear window, headlight dim-dip relay. These systems will only operate with the ignition switch at position ll

3 and 4 25amp Horn, headlight flasher, brake failure circuit, radio memory. These systems operate independently of the ignition switch

5 and 6 25amp Heater blower motor, windscreen wipers/ washers, instruments. These systems will operate with the ignition switch at position I or ll

7 and 8 15amp Left Hand side and tail lights, instrument panel lights, headlight dim-dip relay

Note: The fitting of additional accessories which are required to operate independently of the ignition circuit should be connected to the “4” terminal

Line fuses (four-fuse fuse block - later models)
Rating (amp) Circuits protected
15 amp Right-hand side and tail lights
10 amp Direction indicators/hazard flashers, interior light
15 amp Dim-dip lighting
10 amp Rear fog light



So, check top fuse for voltage both sides. Then remove all switched from the circuit (disconnect wiring connectors at switches) and then apply load one circuit at a time.

Personally I'd be removing the fuse box (note wire colours and locations) and giving the back of it a check ( and clean up) for green crusties (corrosion).
