RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

hey guys
just wondering if anyone can tell me off the top of their heads where the flasher can unit for the indicators in a Mk1 escort is located? The indicators are the only lights i currently don't have working.

Up under the dash behind the instrument cluster

Mine was found dangling inside the drivers A pillar

I think Justin correct. Mine was in a spring clip over on the A pillar.

Democracy at its best.

No wonder you can't find it panko, it depends on who assembled it and on which day, and the level of hangover.

Yep, drivers side A pillar as well.

Just hope that it wasn't done by the guy that installed the rear bulkhead in my car.... if it was you might find it in the boot...

well, mine has the clip for the flasher inside the a pillar as well, but no flasher can haha. I pinched one from a escort at a wreckers near me. I went to put it in the car today, and now I'm unsure on the wires that should be connected to it. My workshop manual says it should have a Black wire with white and green tracers on it, and a black wire for earth, which taps into the same circuit as the brake light switch :| i found the positive wire (comes off the indicator stalk) but have no idea where the earth wire is.

can someone now post show me a pic of a flasher installed, with the correct wires attached to it? i have the escort booked in for a wheel alignment on saturday, so i technically should have indicators for then. it would be great if i did. i will go back to wreckers and look at that car again, but i am working all day tomoro so i may not get time before saturday to go back.

PS, i hate auto electrics, and i suck at it! so this is why i need help
