lupolad Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 My wifes lupos indacators have stopped working overnight!Hazzards work fineChecked the fuse (no 7) and fineIf i move the indicator stalk with keys out and door open I get the parking light warning sound suggesting the stalk contacts are ok.From reading i see the indicator relay is in the hazzard switch so presumably this is ok as the hazzards work.Any help pleaseCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupolad Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Right after further investigation am I right in thinking the indicator relay is seperate to the hazzard relay although still in the hazzard switch housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I beleive that is the case, never had it out and checked though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupolad Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Just tried the hazzard switch from the lupo on my dads polo and works fine. Tried dads switch from polo on lupo and no go for indicators Now what?Have taken the casing of steering column and no disconnected cables.Could it be the stalk? considering parking light works using indicator stalk left and right.

lupolad Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi anyone following this thread - just found out the wipers front and rear and washers all not working either.The only thing on the stalks to work is the headlight full beam pull and the parking light left and right.Any one give me some pointers.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Check your fuses if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupolad Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Definately not the fusesI can also add blower not working to the list now aswellGoogling I see mention of a X contact relief relay causing this type of fault.I can see the tops of the relays behind the fuse box but cant find how to get at them - I have unscrewed the fuse box and taken the trim from below the dash off and can see a sort of wiring rack but cant shift anything.Edit managed to get to relays by cutting cable ties holding main loom in place - can only find 4 relays53 - headlights?410 - fuel pump?19 -Wipers?100 - Horn - edit ..Think this could be the load relief relayCant find a layout for these anywhere.

lupolad Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Ignition switch is also a likely cause to make all these fail?Damn did not realize it was a hell of a job to change - may just get a cheap replacement ignition switch and try by plugging it temporarily and seeing if it makes a difference.

JJ Werrett Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 i also trying work out my ignition switch for my radio as it dont turn it off or on anymore for random reason and dont know what can tap into as a ignition switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupolad Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Bollards - Just tried a new switch (didnt fit it just plugged it in loom and turned with a screwdriver) no difference.Looks like I will have to pay someone to do it.

JJ Werrett Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 if you do can you tell me what they did or replaced which wire is the rear heater on the ignition? since that looks like another option to wire up the stereo acc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupolad Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 A very late update to this but may help someone- replaced the load relief relay (what a pig to get at - mrs lupolad managed to get it in with her petit hands~) and been ok for 2 years!!
