My new project sl 500

[eggy91sl500]

Hi folks, my new project car was sitting from 2009 , I put a new battery in ,straight away the passenger side indicators flash constantly, and the drivers side stays on all the time(not flashing)
I have replaced all the bullet fuses, things are starting to work again (wipers ect), the n10 delay is clicking away,
Any suggestions.

When you replace bullet fuses use brass ended ones (often available from marine chandlers) as opposed to aluminium ones. They're far more reliable.

Isn’t this in the timeframe for the biodegradable wiring loom? (91-96)
Check and see if the loom has been replaced at some stage (bills/history).

if looms feel sticky, it may be worthwhile starting to search for one- even an updated s/h

biodegradable wiring loom? (91-96)

More likely 93 to 96. What year is this 500?

Oh, I see, it's '91 so no bio wiring.

Yep 93 to 96 was the self destructive wiring.

The only damage to the loom ,was done by rats, but that's sorted now

Lost kiwi, I will see about getting them fuses, see if it works.
