Hi
Can anyone shed any light on our problem. Our indicator tell tail on the dash only appears to work when we leave the van for a couple of weeks are the battery starts to run down.When the battery is fully charged and we are driveing the indicators work fine but the tell tail is inoperative.I have an mot soon and need to sort this out can anyone help or does anyone know an auto electrician in the Gloucester.
We only normally go out in the van once a month at hte moment as we are refurbishing her.So she sits on the drive. She runs fine normally just this silly problem.
As Kev says, the battery still shouldn't drain like that.
Have you checked the earth crowns by the fuseboard? Possibly just the dash bulb that's not working or a crack on the pcb ? Stereo is a common cause of battery drain
Have checked earth crowns .Have checked pcb no obvious breaks ,continuity to and from bulb.If i move the multi block at the back of the dash i get the light to work intermtantly.
Bad connection in the multi block I would have thought. Sorry to make it sound obvious, but if it works sometimes when you move it, I think you have found the problem.
When I first got the van the indicator light was temperamental until I noticed the connection in the block was furry. A quick rub with a thinned down nail file board did the trick
