Hello
My name is Gordon i am the proud owner of 52 of 75 which has over the last year and a bit been a labour of love and expense!
i bought the car knowing that it had been in an accident around 99 and according to the DVLA rebuilt and signed off
a month later.
Not to elaborate to much at this point i am in the last throughs getting the car ready for an MOT, a major issue i have had is getting the indicators working on the drivers side, (which were not working when i picked up the car) hazards work fine left hand side fine drivers side not fine!
the indicator control relay (green vented box) has been tampered with at some point by previous owner they had managed to break a resistor clean in half and damage a couple of other components which had been replaced back to front anyway now rectified and working fine BUT the drivers side still not working, now the fuse board in passengers foot well has the 4 fuses that control hazards/indicator bulbs/column indicator stalk/and the alarm.
Now my dilemma there is a 20amp relay in position E2 and E3, E2 clicks when indicators or hazards are used ! on the wiring diagram for indicators there are no relays (mystery).
Briefly back to the cars resent history due to the damage i have another donner car 6 months younger identical wiring in both,
they both have these extra relays in E2 and E3 i have looked every where for info on these relays nothing?
one thing i have noticed is that on every fuse board i have seen in other 3200 is a lack of these 2 relays, so i removed them and yes all indicators now work fine alarm now when activated indicates arming by flashing indicators and a small green led now lights up by cigaret lighter both of these didn't work before.
So i have a small question what are these relays for what do they do? to me i feel something isn't connected that joins everything
together, this has been the largest jigsaw puzzle i have attempted so far
It docent help that the car had these issues when i bought it
any ideas welcome
regards Gordon.
