indicators and hazard lights keep blowing the fueses changed the stoke also reverse lights do not come on can anybody help pls xr3i

 

What car is it?

 

Can be the fact wrong relay in wrong place !
or alarm idiode short !

 

its a XR3i fuses live at fusebox red live dead at stalk need help quick plz carnt drive with no indictors and hazzards

 

does the blowes in the car run off the same relay as the hazzards in so relay ok get live to one side of fuses to indicators and hazzards chanage stork and relay headlights work ok just indicators and hazzards

 

The fan in the car heater has no connection with the hazzard relay.
If the fuse for the indicators/hazzard is ok, follow wire along to the relay, see if power still good on that wire, the stalk is after the hazzard/indicator relay, so if ok up to relay, but blows once the indicators or hazzards are put on there is a short to earth on one side, try the indicators to determine which side, then remove each bulb in turn and try again, if it blows it is the wiring between stalk and indicators on the relevant side, if it doesn't replace one bulb at a time and try, rarely but does happen a bulb can go duff and short out inside.

the yellow plug that goes to the stalk it as,live,earth and 1 for the right and 1 for the left someone had joined the two hazard wires to them i have took them off now i have indicators back but no hazards there just lose because no were to connect them

 

All the wiring that goes from the hazzard to the indicators is done internally from the top mounted hazzard switch.
It may just be easier to just get a new stalk which contains on your car the hazzard as well ?

now my head mashed fuses just gone again

 

the yellow plug that cotrols the indicators there are four wires going to it can u tell me if the black wire is live going to it i for black was earth mine is live

 

Nope all Fords of this era BLACK is LIVE, BROWN is EARTH.

If the fuse has blown when replaced, it's going to be because of a short somewhere.

The same fuse protects the reversing lights (It does on Sierras anyhow) so this explains why they don't work.

wots the best way to find out were its shorting

 

Visually inspect the wiring, look to see if it's been chaffed etc allowing the actual wire to come into contact with metal.

This is if it's doing it when the indicators arn't applied, if it's when the indicators are applied, check the clusters for water ingress, also check the repeaters in addition make sure these have not be interferred with as this is a common way to disable some alarm systems if a theft attempt has been made, not going to go into detail on here for obvious reasons.

wot do u mean bye the cluster and water ingress i have live to the red and black that go to the stork and when i put the hazard on the red goes dead m8

 

i.e is there water inside the light clusters? I will have to have a check the diagram when I get a moment as to the wiring as it's a while since I rewired mine, but you have the relevant lives, does the red become live again when the hazards are switched off? (Not blowing a fuse etc)

Martin

 

got it down to the right side when i put indicator on left its fine when i put it to the right it blows the fuse put new blubs in unpluged the the blubs from the right side still blow the fuse

 

Then you need to be looking at the live wire to that side, as it must be this causing the short.

You have looked at the repeater on that side as well haven't you, as well as unplugging the bulb etc?

Martin

 

no m8 its the only 1 have have not done its started to rain ere so will do it in the morning will let no thxs

 

No problem, check this one as it may have water etc inside, at least then you can elimimate that.

just a update disconnected the right side indicator the one on the wing it worked most ov the day then blow the fuse again

 

i have work it down to every time i put my roof down the fuse blows only when i turn right
