Indicators help please.

Ok
I changed the globes in my tell tales in the tacho. ( Intermittent flashing on one side )
Now I'm thinking it was not the globe.
Of interest. When I turned them off both sides flash up for a second when turned off.
Now the fun.
It ticks. Right hand side works. Left side just barely glows
Nice strong tick tock.
Both tell tales in the tacho work.
Now no tick tock. No indicators. No tell tales
Have I worn something out. I had them ticking for a good five minutes tracking down these issues.

The three wires that go to the tacho.
The piggy back one had power on left and right.
The other two have no power.
So I'm guessing the lights are activated via an earth.

Off course now I have no power anywhere.

I did swap the wires around on the two tell tale lights ( have I damaged anything. )
( There is a positive and negitive on the globe holders )

My flasher can was new a year ago ??

I have just fixed the light switch. But this is an easy fix. I can't see why this affect the indicators.

Help please

Blue/white wires need to be on the center contact on the lamp holder.

A proper check. Not visual. Number one fuse is dead.
With this replaced.led globes in the bin. Blue wires to the centre.
It all works.
I think lots of little things with my fiddling blew the fuse. Now it's correct fingers crossed.
Thanks for the advice.
