Kevin, at first the indicator light stopped working and lights flashing fast. After half hour run no indicators at all flasher felt very hot. Let it cool still not working so I thought it was burnt out.
I done a test this morning, Batt to the X terminal & hooked a bulb up to the L terminal and the bulb flashed as it should. No flashing of the indicator light though. I've either got a wiring problem or switch on the column.
Could I just hook the indicator light up to the L terminal ?.
