Puma Indicator Issues

I run a tow bar, and have the lights hooked up via the old retro loom from my D2.
It's happened with/without trailer, before and after fitting the loom. The wiring on the trailer was a bit stuffed at one point, and when I used the blinker, it made the weirdest buzzing noise. Not sure if it's some kind of warning sound or not, but certainly drew my attention to it so I new to fix it.

Interestingly, I've blown a front Parker light, and since then, there hasn't been an issue with the blinkers. :confused:

I blew a front parker a while ago too. And then the headlight followed soon after on the same side - weird:confused:

Indicator problem is becoming worse, the car is SWMBO's daily and she is being very patient for now




I have checked indicators and trailer plug/wiring for water ingress all seem fine


At the moment we are in the midst of a heat wave and no rain yet problem is there almost constantly .............a trip to the service centre is an option but finding the time and losing the car for whatever time period is difficult at the moment.


Any input would be appreciated is it worth replacing the flasher relay unit thingo...............are they expensive? I'm guessing they just pull out and a new one clicks in.


Cheers Paul

i had the indicator relay replaced under warranty, same symptoms, indicators would not flash, but would stay on constant when the indicator switch is on.

The relay was replaced 25,000km ago, and so far no problems.

Rang the dealer and suggested maybe it was a relay....................end result new relay no problems no cost and everybody's happy (SWMBO and me because she is if you know what I mean)


.....wasn't my tow bar wiring!!!.


Thanks for everyone's input
