  • Indicator light in ARB bar

    The front LH indicator light is not working. Shouldn't be a problem to change the bulb!! Finally got to it by removing the splash guards put in a new bulb. Still not working.

    Can anyone tell me where I can find the fuse for this sucker as I can't understand the coding inside either of the fuse boxes?

    If the indicator on the vehicle itself is working then it’s not the fuse. Fuses are located next to the battery or above the bonnet release.

    Check the plug between the bull bar and the vehicle body and also the housing where the plug goes, use WD40 to improve the electrical connection as the lights in the bull bar are not sealed and are of poor build quality. I will be looking at changing them to LED if possible soon.

      If it was a 150 i would say check the dodgy connections as they fit them with 'scotch locks' quick easy and crap.

      Being a 120 i cant comment on the method of connection although i will say if your cars indicator works and your bars doesnt even after replacement i would check the wiring first for sure

        See my build thread, replace them with LEDs, wire them properly and no more problems.

          Sorry mate but I didn't see the bit about the LED's when I looked through your build thread (male look). Where did you get them from and how much?

              I have done the LED mod and it is worth it. The bash plates are a pain to take off and put back on and the rubbish that accumulates in your eyes each time makes you hesitant to take them off!

              I had an intermittent problem with my marker light before fitting the LEDs and this turned out to be a connector so that is worth a look. Run the indicator with the plates off and see if you can get the light working by agressing upon the wiring. You can also check where you lose power if you have a multimeter or test light.

                Problem resolved, it was a loose wire. Ended up replacing the entire indicator/parking light unit as the lense had cracked and it fell apart when removed. It's amazing what you find when the stone guard comes off, an outback red dust coated 5 cent piece had found its way dowm there.

                  You are so right. The lights on the ARB bull bar are... crap when you have to do work on them. You would think the lens could be taken off from the front but no. LED is the best option. Better still ARB should just fit them to the bars from the start.

                    Mine does the same thing occasionally. I traced it to a continuity problem in the loom immediately behind the indicator assembly on the bar. Sometimes it will work fine and then it will stop. I ended up twisting the loom and using cable ties to secure it in place to prevent any movement and now no problems.

                      when you rewire them up.. think about fitting them up with Detuch Plugs (we use them at work on diggers,cat hitachi etc) they are a water tight sealed two piece plug.. rather than the cheap shit that toyota uses... that gets water in them as the front lights/indicators on bullbars have a tendancy to get water in them... just something to consider :lol:
