If that'd be me, I'd be soldering that joint and using adhesive heatshrink and get rid of those awful scotchlock things.
You need to test earth continuity with a Multimeter and for voltage at the pins. Have you checked the fuse hasn't blown? $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 Last edited by custom90 on 26th Apr 2017 6:58pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Check the obvious stuff such as fuse and bulb and, as Steve says, test for continuity to earth and 12v.
The Scotchlocks really are a poor solution but unless you've made a real hash of fitting them, they shouldn't be the cause of your woes whilst brand new.

Where does the right indicator loom connect to can you get a fresh piece ? 2001 90 TD5 CSW Alveston Red Manual

It'll be continuous right up to the front of the vehicle via the loom that passes up through he chassis rail. Practical options are to solder and heat shrink the joints as Steve says or, if there's enough slack, fit a new plug to the cables at the point where you've currently joined them. Darren

I'll state the obvious... Have you tried turning the bulb round? I made that mistake myself!

Scotch lock's should be banned. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Glad you found the issue, now time to ditch them. Solder and heatshrink or ho back to an Econoceal as suffered if there is any slack left.

Used Scotchlocks. 
These; http://www.autosparks.co.uk/electrical-com...-00mm.html Are a good alternative to soldering and heat shrink, crimp them like a normal butt connector then heat them up and the glue lined plastic melts to form a strong waterproof seal. If you have any more scotch locks, just bin them they're useless things! Even if they work initially, they'll cause no end of grief after a few months at best |
