woke up this morning and noticed all my indicators were stuck on, every now and agian they go off but then flicker, and just stay on agian!?

Ive looked in the handbook to see which fuse was for the indicators and its just say "direction indicators and reversing light", so i removed this and it was still doing it?, does that mean somones put a fuse in the wrong place somewhere along the line?, it says the fuse is a 10amp one, so would it just be a case of pulling the other 10amp ones until the indicators stop flashing?

Cars an R-reg escort gti by the way and i actually washed it just the other afternoon and i used the hosed quite alot on it, maybe some water got in somewhere?, although i rang ford and asked to speak to someone techincal and he said it could be that but its unlikely?

 

Dodgy Ford Wireing

 

anyone who can actually help!!

 

Tell you one thing...That Ford company you rang up doesnt seem too helpful towards your subject, Just to show they cant be Arsed to deal with another customer
Do you have an alarm installed? Your prob better off going down somewere were they deal with Alarms mate.
I had a simular problem with my old Pug106GTi, it was the dam Imobiliser (spelling)

 

no after market jobbie, just standard ford alarm.

Just need to souce that damn fuse then whip it out so it at least stop all my indicators flashing, cant really take it on the road with all the indicators flashing can i!!

 

These Mk5/Mk6 Escorts are renouned for getting water in the fuse box, this is what has possibly happened to you

 

oh right ok, i didnt know that.

If it was that would it just be a case of it drying out?, then it will be ok?

Ive been playing around taking fuses in and out trying to find the indicator fuse but i stopped looking as they stop flashing and it hasnt done it agian in about 20mins.

Im just gunna see if its ok now and if it does it agian i may have to take it to the ford boys.

 

No sounds like might need a new fuse box mate. know a few people who has had this happen to

 

i hope it aint a new fuse box rhys, sounds expensive!

Like i said it aint done it now for like half an hour and it was doing all morning until i played around with the fuse's?, and everything works, exterior lights, interior lights, central locking, you name it it all works so surly it cant be that?

 

If it is that, you will have to buy a new one because they are multi-layered, i have tried to repair one before and it is complicated and not worth the aggro.

On a good note though, they take 5 mins to change, they just clip in and out with a few plugs to connect

I dont think they are cheap mate, i cant remember tbh.

 

ok thanks for the replys and advice guys
