Hi, All ive fitted the tow bar and electrics off my old 2.5 to my 2.8. I have put the wires back exactly where they was on the old one. I had everything working apart from side lights, I traced this to a not very good earth. I have cleaned this and side lights work.
I have now lost indicators on car and trailer socket. Fuse under dash is ok.
Any ideas? Ive been over the connections and all look ok.

Do your hazard lights work?

yes, the hazards work. Is there a separate flasher unit for the indicators? All fuses look ok
I also have a problem the the light on the fog lamp switch comes on even when its turned off.

There are separate fuses for hazard and indicators. The hazard circuit is connected to permanent 12 volts by one fuse, the indicators are switched with the ignition via another fuse. Silly question maybe but did you switch the ignition on to try the indicators?

Have you fitted an isolating or repeater relay for the indicators or just connected to the existing circuit? If you're using the existing circuit, have you changed the flasher unit under the dash?

Hi, just checked relay, works fine, turned on ignition and put volt tester in the fuse holder socket for the indicators and no power there to either of the 2 female terminals.
I have disconnected the fog lamp as this was an aftermarket one that is giving me problems. This was wired into the original fog lamp wiring block connector for fog light switch. Does anything for the indicators run off this?

Are you missing electric to anything else inside like the interior light or radio? Just wandering if you've blown a main fuse under the bonnet.

Hard to say with rear foglight circuits what's going on, early ones where all fitted as an add on so you're in the hands of whoever did the fitting. Might be worth starting from scratch.

Pleased you got it sorted. That's why I asked the question about turning on the ignition, its often the simple solutions that get overlooked.

The part about the flasher relay still applies, if you still have the standard one you need to change it for an electronic type otherwise the flash rate will change when you plug extra load into the towbar electrics.

I was thinking you most likely had one from your old car, you may be able to swap them?
