Indicator cuts out the radio...Help?

[Chubb]

Just realised I posted in the wrong area before, apologies guys

Anyways

New comer here, Hi.

Today I wired up some parcel shelf 6 x 9 ' s, everything was good and okay.

Then I wired in a new headunit, everything appeared to be fine.

When I drove off I found that when the indicator was pushed up or down, it cut the radio out, and the indicator lights do not come on.

The hazards still work however so it is not a bulb fault

Also when disconnecting head unit, indicators still dont work

Any help?

[Chubb]

Anyone at all? Kinda important cos obviously no indicators is quite illegal.

Vehicle is a 1.4 vtr if it helps at all

No other mods yet, just the audio features I mentioned

It could have been a earth wire wrong check the stereo wiring and check fuse box for indicators not working

[Chubb]

Checked the indicator fuse, the 12 one, brown top left fuse. When intake the headunit out, the indicator still fails, so is there possibly a short out when the indicator is on?

Have u fully disconnected the stereo

[Chubb]

Yes, if I fully remove the stereo, the indicators still do not work.

When I put the stereo back in, when the indicator is activated, the radio cuts out.

Found this in the archive, reckon this is the same problem?

'vehicle is a 1.4 vtr' you sure???
sounds like a wiring fault tho..
when you put your indicators on do the indicator lights still come on?
if soo, just put up with the radio cutting out when u use them?

you cant even get a 1.4 saxo can you? ... and all vtr's are a 1.6

[Ben_SaxoForte]

1.4 is the uk's furio I think there is a 1.4 vtr that would be an import or maybe thats 1.4 vts? not sure but something like that lol

Saxo's in Ireland and that come in 1.4 VTR's, etc...

Dude, just don't use the indicators... No-one else seems to! :P

have you got water in the lights? (I know it sounds stupid)

Ive seen this on a 407 before.. only when there was water in the lights after it had been raining for a few days.. no water, it stopped
