Thread: Indicator light (on dash) working intermittently

Hi all,

Recently purchased my first Disco (1993 TDi), and am very happy with it.

The only problem that I cant sort out is the dash light for the indicators only works intermittently. (The light that has the "<>" symbol).

The trailer light flashes once (from what I've read, it is supposed to) when turning on either indicator, but the actual indicator light either doesn't work, or works sometimes.

Before I pull the dash apart looking for a loose connection to the bulb, does anyone have any other ideas as to what may be the cause?

The legs on the globe holder loose contact at times so you need to remove the back cover & then you can get to the globes. Retension the legs & you should be OK.

Damn, so I'll have to muck around behind the dash after all...

I'll consult the Haynes manual first and if it's too much of a hassle (EG: more than an hour's work) it can be left as is for a while.

Ta for the advice.
