installing stereo part 2

[Red Mk1]

ok so installed everything sweet...and interior light and trip computer working again (it WAS just a fuse, thanks syncro and loon) BUT now my blinkers dont work you reckon blinkers is a fuse too?? or did i accidentally pull out a wire??

You might have disturbed the wiring on the back of the hazard switch.

[Red Mk1]

hmmm yeah that makes sense...i did accidentally push out the hazard switch when i was fiddling around with a coat hanger trying to pull the speaker wires through....will try that...will just check if all is plugged into hazard switch.
THANKS!!!see how it goes...

[Red Mk1]

ok...just checked, hazard lights work fine... but no blinkers...the light to say that blinkers are working comes on (but its kinda on in a dull way all the time, but brightens when i put blinkers on) but doesnt make the click clack sound and blinkers dont come on??
I pulled out the hazard switch but cant see anything too weird (then again dont really know what to look for, but no loose wires that i can spot)

Try the blinkers fuse. But I`d still reckon on you having disturbed the switch wiring. Look at the back of the switch. Is there a spare connector when the plug is on and perhaps a spare wire behind it?

[Red Mk1]

no wires missing in back of plug...will try fuses...if that dont work, any more ideas? or is that when i go to the auto-electrician

[Red Mk1]

is it normal for that little green light to kind of stay on in a dull way...i didnt really notice it before? (Golf Mk GTI 8v 1987)

pulling wires through with a coat hanger is asking for trouble... I hope you disconected the battery!

Where in Sydney are you?

[Golf Loon]

No that light was not on before. Was it a metal coathanger, or a plastic coated one? Could be a dodgy earth if the light is dim. Or you could have shorted something with the damn coathanger.
