914 Indicator Problems and Blowing fuses, Help with diagnosing electrical issue Options

[FELIX74]

Hello

I am new to this forum and have owned my 914 for 4 months......best thing ever!

Until.....

A few nights ago i was driving and as i tried to use my right indicator, i heard a clicking noise from the fuse box area beneath my steering wheel. The indicator stopped working....Left still works, but nothing happens with the right. Incidentally my HAZARD lights button has never worked but all other electrics worked fine up to this point.

Anyway, i stopped the car (at the pub :-) ), when i returned.......the Tach, Fuel Gauge, Instrument lights all had stopped working. I discovered the fuses had blown (2).

I replaced them but they blow instantly. Indicator is still dead.

I bought a new relay and replaced it but that has not helped at all.

Next step is i guess to look in more details at the fuse box, or maybe the indicator switch itself?

I wondered if any of the more experienced 'Teener' owners had some sage advice

Many thanks

Mike
