The Ford Capri Laser Page

The indicators on my 2.8 had stopped working suddenly last week, done routine checks found the relay connector block had worked its way loose, so connected it back up & was working again...
Next morning no indicators again, so checked relay all seemed fine but when I wiggled the brown wire (earth) it worked so assumed faulty relay, changed for another known working relay though it wasn't a Capri one just a generic one, that didn't seem to do anything at all, (no red light on hazard switch)

The only difference I could see with the relays was the original had numbers near the spade connections where as the generic one has no numbers,
would that mean I need the correct relay for my car?

Did you check the earth itself? If you wiggled the earth wire and it worked I would've thought that the earth connection was crap and to fix that rather than replacing the whole relay?

Cheers
