If you find a tech who will do it, I suspect that they will tell you the resistor at the top left hand of the board (14) is blown.

A competent tech should fix it for you.

I missed that this morning. Sorry Alex. Must not have fully woken up before posting about the track. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

I've given two circuit boards to a technician to see if they can Frankenstein the two into one working board. I don't think they are used to seeing 40 year old tech... and let's face it... even in 1980 the tech Land Rover / Lucas were using was probably not state of the art!
In the meantime... it's on to testing the wiper motor. So apologies in advance for when I start asking you about that! xy

Good evening sirs,

Given that I don't know much about automotive electricity; modest contribution:
- My worn 6-way switch (poor click) and had the rubber sealing cap = condensation + contact corrosion; I installed a new one
- Here you will find your happiness in Hella (12 or 24 volts - Made in Germany or Spain): https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/hella-936419.html

Most of my electrical worries came from oxidation or loose connectors

Good luck, you've reached the end!
Regards

Neil and LooLoo.
I tried bridging the actual multisocket with the Hella removed as you suggested Neil and the indicators work!
I also worked out that I had the green white on the LH rear connected to the turnlight instead of going to the trailer socket. So that fixed both turnlights going on at once.

On another positive note, I got my wiper motor working
So all is going well.
Thanks again for all the help. Could not have done it without you

Alex

Good news !

About "On Another Positive Note, I Got My Wiper Motor Working - So All is Going Well."
- Clean the gear mechanism well
- Grease the twisted cable well and its sheath distributing the movement
- Clean and de-oxidize the Weel Boxs and the axles of each wiper; We can also replace them with new and blue-boxes that are (for once ... Made in UK by Oe Manufacturer; I was very surprised!) :shock:

Well ... Maintaining ... it may be rarely raining at Barbados ... :mrgreen: ?
