do your hazard lights work ok

this would prove that that wiring and bulbs are working

you just need to trace it back and find out whats broken :D

so it might just be a wiring fault to the bulb

i would start with the wires that the bulb connect to and see how far you can trace them

they might have been cut thru with a wheel arch liner or summat like that ... could be obvious ;)

But when you used my f100 it worked ok. So that f100 you replaced it with must be knackered mate.

Hi Brian I\'ve bought three f100s n double checked with the people if they worked n the all said yes but yet when I\'ve plugged them in the indicators are the same, so I can only think it must b a wiring problem of sum sort,

Tbh if it worked with Brian\'s f100 relay mate it cannot be the wiring,
 
Check the relay base/connections etc

Yea I doubled checked the connections n still no joy, the only thing I haven\'t done is connected it to the wall with the one bolt, but does that or wud that have anything to do with it working or not?

if it earths thru that bolt - then yeah it would cause problems

BUT - if one side still works then that could prove that bolting it down makes NO difference

probably - or an auto electrician

might not be cheap if they have to trace all the wires back thru the loom - hence suggesting you do it your self !
