Indicators

Post by Nacho »

Car has decided to go into limp mode except not flashing the neutral sign this time. :x For some reason I still have all the electrics except the indicators. Any idea why? Have also lost the hazard lights obviously. It went into limp mode as soon as the engine was started sitting the garage and doesn't go away even when you restart......unlike the speed sensor issues that everyone else is having.

Checked ecu codes and nada unfortunately. It's actually flashing 2 flashes per second which is quicker than the guide suggest but can't seen to find a code for that one.

It's still starting in limp mode and still no indicators. Everything else works. Since there were no codes....did an ecu reset......still the same.

More info.......spoke to Lee (Vic FTO Guru) and he claims that the hazard lights are connected to the alarm system. Upon his request, disconnected the battery for 10 mins then connected it again while the car was in the 'On' position. Something to do with triggering the alarm system. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Hahaha :lol: I'm so happy I diagnosed and fixed it myself! It did my head in for the last 2 days! Who would have thought the fuse for the indicators when broken would actually put the car in limp mode.

Just thought I'd let everyone know for future reference.

But what made the fuse on the indicators blow and is it likely to do it again....

    That would have been me messing around with the taillights previous to that. There was a wire that had a frayed outer casing on the taillights which I patched up. :wink:
