R31 drivers side indicator not working

[Liam2421]

Hey looking for pointers or experiences with indicator wiring/ common faults for the blinkers on the r31, I have a 87 silhouette and am having dramas with the blinkers staying on (not flashing) to indicate right,while trying to indicate this way the relay makes a constant noise, The front passenger side fender blinker is missing the harness connector to the bulb so is not connected would this effect the opposite side? Both rears work as they should, and blinker that stays on functions normally when on hazards instead of indicating, have replaced all bulbs,fuses and relay Cheers

Best guess would be light (combination) switch....but here's the wiring diagrams...

So the issue only occurs when indicating right, AND you're missing a bulb in it.

Normally on old flasher relays, when a bulb blows, they start to flash quicker. If you have potentially another short, or a couple of lower resistance bulbs, the constant noise you might be hearing is actually the flasher relay dropping in and out really quickly.

 

I suspect if you get your front indicator wired in, your symptoms will change...

Yes your correct haha I found that the passenger side wire was cut from previous owner when it was stripped for a re spray, I now have all blinkers except for both front bar blinkers, both bulb holders have continuity but don’t illuminate, this is the same when hazards  are on, I assume I may be missing an earth
