indicator lights and fuel gauge problems

[robandsophie]

Hi,

Heres a conundrum. My indicator lights stopped working along with my fuel gauge, and now have magically started working again. No issues I can see with fuses or obvious electrics. Any ideas?
I have a 1968 2 door morris minor 1000.
Any help you can offer me would be great.

Try wriggling the fuse about

I agree, it is most likely a fuse (or fusebox) problem. The same fuse controls the indictors, fuel gauge, brakelights, wipers and heater fan. Fuseboxes often get grubby and the contacts need a clean-up. Better still, just buy a new one - they're only a few pounds.

Great stuff, thanks for all the advice, will start at fuse box first. Electrics not my strong point but learning!! Will be a nice job in garage out of the wind and and rain at the weekend.

Why wait until the weekend, it will only take you thirty seconds!
