BB if I put the wires from the right indicator into the plugs for the left side it still blows.


But does it blow when you indicate left rather than right?? If so then the problem is obviously with the rear right hand one. Does it still happen with the bulb removed??

Sorted!!!
Problem was with the cheesegrater. Because it is metal it was causing a short through the one indicator. Solved the problem buy insulating the indicator with rubber washers.
Never known a problem like this before. Not very good on car/bike electrics.

I can't see how you can say that it wasn't the indicator when one was OK and the other one wasn't - there's obviously a problem with the build of that particular indicator - or have I read your posts incorrectly ?

And it's just done it again same thing brand new indicators. Rear right hand indicator every time. Plug it into the leads for thd left rear indicator n it's still blowing fuses. Yet the left indicator works fine in the leads for the right hand indicator.
Any ideas anybody because this is confusing the hell out of me.

I had 3 different sets of indicators all did the same thing. So I doubt it was the indicators.
