The auto electrician arrived this morning and was away within the hour. He disconnected all the cable connections under the dash where indicator lighting cables were involved. There was one connection where the spades were not well covered by the rubber covers and it had probably shorted on the metal brackets welded to the roll bar. So the hazards worked. Next, the indicators. The short had fried the new electronic flasher unit but replacing that with the bi-metallic strip unit had it all working again.
I spent the afternoon putting it all back together again.
Tomorrow Joanna, Gally (the whippet) and I will be making up for lost time.
Thank you all for your help and advice.
