My blinker have stopped working im am trying fix them i have been told there is a seperate flasher unit for the blikers/harzards, is this true, my model is a early 72 model, my auto elec says most cars have one relay. my hazards are working so i pulled the steering wheel of to have a look at the swith but cannot work anything out.

mate take out the flasher/hazard unit and check your hazards and see if they work... if it doesnt then its one unit but from iv been told the hazard works different to the flasher for emergencies
i got a spare flasher unit if you cant get one up in QLD, you can have it for $5 including post if you want

Where is the flasher unit situated, i'm having a similar problem. My left indicator only stays on, dosn't blink, but the right one does. The hazards work fine though.
Any ideas??

TheNav: your issue is 100% earthing so dont bother with the unit, just get a piece of long electric wire and check the earth of each blinker. one end on any blinker bolt and other end on good clean metal (engine best) and find out which isnt earthing correctly. onc determined then rectify (PS make sure you are indicating to the left when testing  )
ta2272: OK FOUND IT!!! got the wiring diagram for the '22, the hazard box is the actual hazard switch. it does go through the flasher unit but is earthed to the dash itself via the hazard switch. also the switch is directly connected to the indicator lights on dash. thats why hazards always work no matter what... i knew there was a logical explanation
but dude do the blinkers come on at all when indicating? even if they stay on... also do you have the same issue as TheNav where one side works and the other doesnt? here is something you can try, get a 12volt battery. connect a wire to neg and attache to engine, attach another wire to pos and to blinker and see if they work individually (basically give direct power to each blinker individually to see if they come on)
BUt mate if you can give me every little detail in the world of the issue, basically answer these:-
- when indicating right do the blinkers come on and stay on?
- when indicating right do the blinkers come on and flash?
- when indicating right do the blinkers stay off?
- when indicating right do the blinkers flash once?
- when indicating left do the blinkers come on and stay on?
- when indicating left do the blinkers come on and flash?
- when indicating left do the blinkers stay off?
- when indicating left do the blinkers flash once?
- are any blinker globes burnt?
- have you tried what i just mentione to TheNav?
please answer the above and i will move on to the next step

Nothing comes on

Nothign comes on
- when indicating right do the blinkers stay off?
Yes
- when indicating right do the blinkers flash once?
No nothing

No nothing

No nothing

Yes

No nothing

All blinkers work when i use hazards.
- have you tried what i just mentione to TheNav?
I have not tried what u said to the nave thought i can tell you where i stated noticing faulty blinkers,
6 months ago when i had a flat battery my blinkers were coming on and staying on this went away the next day, 2 weeks ago they stopped working i hopped in the car the next day and they worked fine for a day then the next day they worked for one corner and they have not blinked a flash since.

the nav: i'm not sure about celicas, but when my indicator stays on and doesn't flash, it means there's a blown globe. check all of your globes first.

I checked my wiring diagram and it would seem that they do use the same flasher signal, but have independant wiring
http://www.geocities.com/khi_santh/resource.html
I had a similar problem not too long ago (hazards working but idicators not) and found that by bumping the wiring loom under the steering wheel the blinkers started working, hence dodgy wire somewhere between the indicator switch and the turn signal flasher. You may have a dodgey wire too??

you could take to auto elec but the last thing you can try is to feed pos power direct to unit to see if flashes. if it does then it is wiring from steering wheel. if it still doesnt flash then wiring harness good luck sourcing that

damn dude i left the wiring diagram at home and wont be home till bout 6.30pm... if you can follow the indicator steering switch to the connecting plug, determine which wire it feeds and follow to blinker ass and that will be the pos... unfortuneately thats all i can do for you ATM sorry mate... but ill post when i get home... also ill try and take a pic of the diagram and post it up

Uhhh, if you want a good wiring diagram for a 22, go to the link I posted earlier  , has colour codes for the wires and has helped me a lot with my elec problems.
ps. more direct link for your convenience

If you want to avoid the expense of an auto elec get yourself a multi meter (if you do not already have one), and do the diagnosis yourself.
With the multi meter negative wire, find a good earth point somewhere on your car preferably straight onto the chassis. Then using the positive lead on the multi meter, start checking each wire (plug/connector) from the point of origin (where the power comes into the circuit), then follow it along to each plug testing each plug as you go - you will need to have the ignition on and the idicator on too (make sure your checking the right wires for the indicator you have turned on). When you fail to get a power reading that's your dodgey wire. Sounds simple but takes a lot of fart assing around; but in the end will save you heaps of money with an auto elec.
ps. Thanks for the feedback on the diagram, took me 4 days to do, but I wanted a good copy to put up on the web. So sick of blurry wiring diagrams

Sorry dude, I've got a 72 model and I don't have any relays in the engine bay what so ever. I think you might need to call in a proffesional...

Hi all
I have a 73 model TA22 and just the other day my indicators stopped working. My hazards work fine though. Anyone got any ideas on what's wrong with it and how to fix it? Also, the CHG light is staying on. The car's fuel and temp gauge stopped working as well but then fixed itself up after about 2 mins. Any ideas anyone?
Thanx

CHG light staying on is alternator issue... could be loose belt, alternator, regulator or wiring. start by taking alternator off and getting it checked at auto electrician, then go to belt (change it anyway to be safe)
after that unless your an electrical type person may need to get it checked
