Range Rover Classic Turn Signals Failed

[desertrover]

So after two years of ownership with nearly no electrical issues, all turn signals on my '88 RRC have completely failed. All four work fine if I hit the hazards. Are the hazards wired on a separate circuit from the turn signals? My search for information on this one hasn't turned up too much.. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or any other pointers?
Thanks,
CJ

i am taking a guess as its been a while but isn't there a fuse relating to the signal lights on the dash? maybe that is blown.

can you hear a relay clicking when you turn on the signal light?

I checked all the fuses in the dash, and cleaned the contacts while I was at it. There is no relay clicking when the turn signal is operated. However, depressing the four way flasher switch causes clicking and normal operation of the hazards.

Did you check the fuse in the glovebox?

Is that a joke? I don't have a glovebox!

sorry i couldn't help it

thought i would try and keep you buisy for a bit while i try and dig up my wiring diagrams.

Solved! I disassembled the column around the turn signal switch, and repaired damaged wiring there. Now to put the vent back in..

well done, what was the cause of the wiring damage?

it looked like a short caused by heat, age, and abrasion.
