    no indicatros

    I have lost all indicators /hazards not sure if they were gone before I plugged in the camper trailer or not . All fuses ok ,no faults showing on nanocom ,lights come up as working on both nano and dash, normal flash rate on dash. Any ideas ?

    No one will notice in Brisbane.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    LOL! (Ian) ... same here in Melb too(just in case the OP is down this way in their camper trailer!)

    But on a technical note:

    Working off RAVEs electrical library and wiring diagram the power comes from the fuse to all indicator lights via a green/white wire down to a connector directly under the heater fan blower motor(LH front pass footwell). If you black panel is still there, you'll need to remove it.

    If you delve down in there, you should find a 20 pin connector(C0289 according to RAVE if you have a copy). what it should look like is at one of the corners of the multiplug will be 4 green/white wires.
    The one in the corner is the feed from the fuse to the rest of the indicator bulb system. All the wires to the bulbs run off green/white wires to their respective downstream connectors.
    The wire most likely to be the culprit should be the corner green/white wire as this is the feed for the rest of the system. the other 3 green/white wires simply go to their globe connections, or to another plug that sends power to the rear right globe and trailer feed.

    There is no common earth point for all the indicator globes, so less likely for all the globes not to work due to earth issue. Could be that they all suffered an earthing failure .. just the chances of this happening at less likely.

    If you locate this 20 pin connector with the 4 green/white wires, you will be looking to separate the plug, and inspect for say a burned out pin inside, or maybe a wire failure at the corner green/white wire.

    Note that there is also two relays(clicker) for the indicator/hazard bulbs too, but as it appears that the two separate the power into LH and RH sides, again less likely for bulbs to not work but dash lights for them to work and both fail at the same time.

    And to save to-ing and fro-ing with replies and questions:
    When you say all fuses working, do you refer to the fuses in the drivers side interior fuse box only? Have you checked Fuse 14 (15amp) in the engine bay. If you haven't checked this one, this sends power to both relays at the same time ..

    If you have checked this engine bay fuse, the go back to the green white wire under the fan blower motor.

    Hope this works for 'ya.

    Actually scratch my reply. I misread the wiring diagram.. it is 1 am and a bit bleary eyed.

    Still check the 20 pin plug, but also check the green/red wires too. There are 4 of them, and the one you want to see if there is power from it is the inboard wire(pin 17).

    but double check the engine bay f14 again if you already have.

    If none of these checks come to anything, the it could be a fuse box issue, in that the wire from the fuse 14 engine bay, and brown and purple wire goes into the drivers interior fuse box which powers the relays.

    The worry is going to be that if none of those points constitute a failure in some way, it could be the BCU (or IDM or maybe relays themselves)
    If so, could be a lot more involved than simple tracing power through wires.

    The interior fusebox is the first suspect in this case cos it's common to develop al kind of faults due to corrosion, you should rule it out before you start complex troubeshooting, it's plug and play just to be from the same modell(facelift or not), disconnect the battery, swap the units then after battery reconnection turn ignition on 2 and let it so 5 minutes, that's all. As long as the indications on the dash are working the management(BCU) seems to be OK

    Thank you for your reply I think you are right as the fuse box has already had a problem with the heater fan fuse and I have repaired that by putting in a link with a remote fuse . I have a fuse box in my spare parts wreck but it has 5 pin relays and mine has 4 pin relays I hope it will work when I change it out Doug
