    indicators

    Senga, Have a look at the 12n plug, the black one, and check the wiring connections for the right hand indicator. If you have a test lamp, earth it to the back of the car and check that the 12n socket on the back of the car makes the lamp flash. Check also that the bulb sits correctly in the...
