FD3S Electrical Problems - Indicator/Hazard/Reverse Lights
 

Hi All,

Bit of a bum move to join up asking for help, but I promise I will stick around after.

Was fiddling around under the bonnet yesterday (just changing a pulley bearing) when afterwards I started up and did a few checks to realise the indicators weren't working.

Further investigation reveals that the indicators, hazards and reverse lights are all not working.

Full symptoms :
Hazards do not work
Indicators do not work, but still make the clicking sound when I try to indicate (Just no lights)
Reverse lights do not work

Brake lights DO work
Headlights DO work
Tail lights DO work.

When I indicate, then turn the hazards on, the clicking increases tempo.


So, does anyone have any ideas where to start? I have had a look and fuses seem alright, I'm away from home and a bit limited on tools so I can't just jump right in and take the car apart so any advice or previous experience would really help!

Thanks,

Sam.

SELF FIX

Here is how for anyone who might stumble across this.

Yes, it was something as simple as the fuse. In the corner of the driver footwell by the accelerator, look for a burnt out one. Kinda annoyed it was something so basic, I just didn't know there was another fusebox there. Please forgive me I have come from the land of Minis where there are only 5 fuses on the whole car.

did your tail lights work after you changed it? Tryna figure out all my options for my FD.

Hi, yep they did. Everything went back to normal after finding the fuse in the corner by the accelerator.
