Right - think I will exhaust my stock of goodwill with you all, but here goes anyway

Blowing 15A fuse I think is sorted - fine, we'll see how it goes. Many thanks to all

Now connecting things up, and as far as I can see, everything has gone back exactly the same way - except regulator is disconnected.

Here's the thing

With the 15A and the 7A headlight fuse in place - all seems good. Ignition on and we have dash lights, indicators work, starter works etc - all good.
With the 15A, the 7A headlight fuse in place, and then the 7A tail fuse in place. Ignition on, and woe! All 4 indicators on permanently, but at least headlight and tail lamp light up!

Something clearly amiss....As ever any clues gratefully accepted. Short again - bad earth? Nothing obvious that I can see..

 

Bryanj:
Bad ground

SteveD CB500K0:
As Bryan says.

If there’s a bad earth connection the current will earth via the other indicators. So all come on together.

You used to see this a lot in old cars where both indicators would flash. One maybe a little dimmer than the other.

To clarify if I may

Would I be looking at a bad earth on the tail fuse circuit then?

mike the bike:
On mine, I added an extra earth wire from each indicator back to the loom.
It's a lot more reliable.
