Wirsing question

i like to reactivate my trafficators. They are installed and now mechanical functional. But there is no wiring to them. I tried to lay a new wire from the dashboard through the a-post and the roof frame to the b-post. I tried, but didn“t get a cable trough. Is it possible to lay a wire that way? I mention, i did not get from the roof frame to the a-post; tried both ways. Could that be true? How ist the wire lay in the original installation?
I read in other treads, but there was only discussed how to connect indicator and trafficator. Thats not my problem.
Any tips welcome for the best way for a wire to the trafficator. Ideally from dashboard to trafficator.

On a 2 door the wiring runs from the boot, over the rear wheel arches and up the B post. See this thread: http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... tor+wiring

thank you for that link, did not find it.
So i have to add two wires to the loom to the back, or think about how to manage when using the installed back indicator wires......

Well - if they are 'flashing' you can't use them for trafficators.... Need to run new cables.

green/red and green/white cable ordered. Will keep you up2date how it goes on.
I have some ideas how to optimize this.....
some of them were discussed in several threads about wiring indicator and trafficator
