Hi
I just installed a new head unit and it all works.
The only issue i have is the indicators aren't working.
The hazards still work and the indicators flash when I turn on/off the alarm.
But its when I indicate left or right where nothing works.
Is it a blown fuse? If so, which one is it? Or is it another problem altogether?
Please help asap, will really appreciate it.

**SOLVED**
I hadn't plugged the hazard lights back in the center console/dash because I was still testing. Leaving it unplugged then the indicators don't work. I plugged the hazard back in and then the indicators worked. I'm no mechanic or electrcian so didn't know this was how things worked, hopefully this post helps other noobs like me :p

How were you making the hazards work if they weren't plugged in then?
 
He said the hazards worked when he pressed the alarm.
Op misunderstood the indicator wiring. The alarm sends it's own power to the indicators so they flash when alarm is set.
This is completely independent of the hazard switch.

That's not how I interpreted it Jack..The way it was posted would confuse most...
He said "hazards still work and the indicators flash when I turn on the alarm"

Either way its fixed now.
 
Sorry for the confusion.
After I connected the head unit I connected the hazards to make sure they were working (which they were) BUT after testing the hazards, I disconnected it because I wasn't ready to finalise putting the center console back.
I did not know the operation of the indicators were dependent on having the hazards connected also.
Hope this clears things up, I wrote the first post in a state of panic in the middle of the night. :p
