Default Indicators!!!!!

Right, 89 S2 escort indicate right all lights that are ment to be on are on so no problems, indicate left DIFFERENT story ALL indecators lights come on thats on the dash, both sides and front and rear. i have changed the stalk, unplugged the dash, replaced the relay and done visable checks for wirings that are friyed or shorting but i really cant see anything.

Does anyone else know of anything that i can do to fix this, (its holding it up from being MOT'd and watching it rot on my drive is doing my head in! any help would greatly be appreciated! many thanks

The indicators have a constant earth, and the stalk merely switches the positive supply to them.

I was going to suggest the stalk as the hazard switch bridges both and supplies live, thought maybe it might have an internal short but if youve changed it it cant be that.

I reckon its the alarm

Try taking the fuses out (the indicators usually have a fused supply in the alarm loom) and see what happens then!
