OK.

Spent too much time on it this morning trying to get this to work.

I found the indicator cables from the stalk (had to find them on the connector at the bottom as getting to the stalk base was a swine).

I checked them with the multimeter and got a signal when the indicators were on. I also checked the cables from the remote locking box and that was putting out a signal too.

Put them together ---- nothing.

I tried running to the back of the bulbs and all that did was blow fuses.

What am I missing here? Is it something to do with negative switching or something?

If you wire up a set of spot light on a jimny the trigger wire go on the earth side not the live side of the plug.
So maybe the your wire needs to go on the earth side of the indicator bulb.
this is how l wired my spot light.




Hope this help.

I did wonder if it was something like that. Trying the earth side of the bulb just popped the central locking fuse (unless I shorted it somewhere else).

Hmmmm....

If it is any help

green wire/red stripe is left indicator
green wire/yellow stripe is right indicator
(the wires can be joined into at the hazard switch, column wires or anywhere in the main loom.)

The later cars use some bizarre switching at the column, and an electronic turn signal relay, that does left/right/hazard by itself.

In both cases, a live on the green wire/red stripe will put the left indicator on.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
