MK2 Escort Indicator Woes

[Mr. Mainstream]

Hey team,

 

Just out of the blue all my indicates failed to work.

 

The hazard switch also now does nothing.

 

I have checked and replaced the fuse.

 

I tried the joint pin 1 &2 on the hazard pins with no luck.

Any ideas?

I guess replace the relay,

My guess this is it shown?

[Mr. Mainstream]

Flasher unit or fuse.  Or an earthed out and melted switchgear. 

[Mr. Mainstream]

By switch gear do you mean at the column itself?

 

[kyteler]

Yep. 

[Mr. Mainstream]

yep,

so about 15months ago i replaced the switch gear with one from palmside

https://palmside.co.nz/products/escort-mk2-new-indicator-switch 

as it was as sloppy and worn.

so kinda ruling that out at the moment,

managed to articulate my large body once again under the dash to have a poke around to see if anything looks suspect with no luck.

 

guess il replace the relay,

can anyone confirm the photo shown is it?

Never rule out a failure because a part is "somewhat new"

I'd start with the flasher relay. They are cheap and easy to replace.
