flashers u/s

Hi folks....Any of you electrical boffins out there......When I purchased RM446 from Holloway the indicators didn't work. The duty mechanic stated they had removed a part during the week and they had no spares. So hand signals had to suffice on the journey up to Newark! Exciting!!!! Help is needed. The CAV aluminium box is in its' cubbyhole. I have changed it but no flashers.The switch on the dash is unconventional....much smaller and black plastic, with red light. So where does the circuit feed from and where to first? Is it fused; if so where? Is it possible to test the CAV box? I can test the dashboard switch but will replace it with a standard one. Cheers Ian.

My bus number (if any): RM446 and RM765

Talk to Rob Duker, he has copies of the original wiring diagram for the RM. When you get that you can see what might be missing, but if a unit was taken chances are it was the flasher unit itself.
