khanny

ye there all on i know 1 is lose just a bit of a git to get to im almopst certain thats causing the abs, handbrake light to come on going to do that tommoz but i know its defo not doing the lights, to be honest no i havent checked the bulbs and will do i just didnt really think they both would have blown including indicators , ion fact i know the indicxator lights havent blown cos the hazards did work after this but dont now

The side lights and hazards should come on with the ignition off. The indicators and headlights should only work with the ignition on.

Does the engine run? If not, then I'd start looking at the ignition relay, or a fuse in the same circuit, or the "fuseable link" if fitted (the first 8 inches or so of one of the smaller wires that goes onto the battery positive). If the engine does run, and it's only the stalk controls that are at fault, then double check the fuses.
