Looking for help.
I recently bought a 2005 T5, needed some TLC as been sat for 2yrs.

All lights worked fine but after getting it home noticed the indicator lights were not working on the drivers side and LED side repeater was faint. I replaced indicator bulb (worked) but when I replaced side repeater the driver side indicator stopped working.

Earth is fine but no power on the live.
Central locking works.
Headlights and brake lights working.
Fuses have been check and all ok.

I have chased the cable and breaks found.

Could someone please point me in the direction of the relay? Or any other suggestions on how to fix the indicator?
 
Can you replace side repeater with a standard filament lamp instead of LED and see if that changes anything, Early LED replacements might require an extra ballast resistor to work correctly ( especially if your indicators are "flashed" by a b-metallic strip relay flasher) and if they are an array (ie lots of LEDs in series or parallel) as they fail all sorts of weird stuff can happen, also LEDs are polarity conscious so if it is incorrectly wired it may work but not properly or it might not work at all.
