[QUOTE="StuF, post: 540050, member: 17262"] Afternoon all, After breaking my indicator/flasher stalk at Stanford Hall I ordered a replacement unit from Heritage https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/211953513J/indicator-switch-including-housing-8-67-7-72/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The flasher portion broke inside and although I am fairly happy doing spannering electrical jobs are always a mare for me. 1970 LHD Westie! When the stalk broke it failed with the main beam on although this is only an issue when the headlights are on I have replaced the stalk by joining the wires up to the old loom to try and minimise the wiring faff - all the wire colours matched My indicators work fine now on the new stalk and when it is is pulled to the rear I can hear the relay clicking but the main beam doesn't disengage I have moved the fuse box out a little bit to gain access to the three relays - I ordered a replacement https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/111941583AC/headlamp-relay-12-v-flash-dip-5-terminals/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Although this replacement doesn't fit into any of the slots under the fuse box? Any ideas where I am going wrong? Bloody hate electrical jobs! :shock: [/QUOTE]
