Hi folks,

Have a problem with the indicators on my Disco II, when I flick them on to go left or right sometimes, particularly when the car is cold, nothing happens. But sometimes I'll flick them and they won't work until I start turning the steering wheel to go round a corner. Sometimes I give the steering wheel a little wiggle and they decide to work. Are there any steps I can take to try and fix the problem that won't involve taking off the steering wheel and air bags etc? Quite worrying seeing as at this stage it probably won't pass a WOF/MOT.

Also just found the CD player under the Driver's seat, but that doesn't work, it's plugged in and that cable seems to go through the armrest thingy alright. There is a cable next to it that seems to have been cut, but I haven't worked out whether it's the same one yet, it that normal?

Cheers,
David

 

I suspect the grease in the lever contacts hardens in cold climate, preventing electrical conduction. Happens on mine every winter, cures itself when warm for both wiper and turn signal. Wiggling the levers usually works.
From what I remember before removing mine, there is only one cable connecting the disc player. The one you found cut, how many conductors in it ?

 

Just had a look and the one that's cut is the cable connecting to the CD player, couldn't find out where the other end was. No idea why it has been cut, perhaps it was mucking up the whole system...
