Autoelectrical Cash Job

[Everlong-S13]

Any auto electricians keen for a quick cash job? Need to find a short that's giving me indicator issues. Can come to you or I live SOR.

Cbf paying huge labour fees at a proper shop might might have to if all else fails.

More information maybe able to help without looking at the car.

Yep sure! See thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/387752-right-indicator-problem/

I basically just need someone to find the short/fault that's causing the problem.

[Everlong-S13]

Updated, I replaced the relay switch with no difference, so it's definitely a short - hoping an auto electrician could sort it out for cash.

[Boss-zilla]

could be the indicator stalk too.

Have you had any electrical work done lately that could be related?

anything else done just before it started to happen?

All globes are good? <check them

[Everlong-S13]

I'll disassemble the stalk to have a look. Checked globes. No modifications to cause the problem, apart from installing stiff coilovers that may have eventually created an earth somewhere from all the bumps.

I know....we came down for the bbq remember........REMEMBER!?

Being from the country that drive is 'normal' but alot (and no offense to these people) of city folk call it a long drive way way way down south.

[Everlong-S13]

Lol, nah it's not that far. I'll just bring a few beers and crash on your sofa.

I remember looking inside the wheel arch and assuming the wires would be protected enough from all the plastics - but it may be worth taking the wheel off and double checking.

I also just Googled how to remove the side fender + front bar indicators so I'll check those today.

jimmys-33T is an auto sparky - lives NOR, could pay to drop him a pm (he's an auto sparky)

Nice guy - does great work

I would seriously look at the combination switch/stalk, they give these sorts of issues when they fail.
