Looking at the wiring diagram of my 181, there is a lead to an EFL switch.
I have looked endlessly for this missing EFL switch, but can’t find it.
Give me a clue please

How about posting a picture of your wiring diagram. |

That's what I thought, but it's pretty hard to miss. Ronnie, how about posting a pic of your instrument panel? Also you obviously have a European version. The wiring is slightly different. If it's an ex-military version the wiring is very different. |

Thanks for the replies.
My first guess was the hazard flashers.....?
The fault lies in fuse number one which keeps blowing when I switch on the ignition - plus indicators and hazards have stopped working.
(a new four pin relay is currently on the way to me in the mail)
...but on fuse number one there is a green/ Black wiring leading to the EFL switch, as in the diagram below, on the output side.
Really, I’m looking for confirmation that I’m heading in the right direction.
...and yes my 181 is German manufacture, but a civilian version.

As Wildthings points out, there are three wires coming out of the output side of the fuse. I would pull and label each wire coming off the output side of the fuse and see if the fuse blows when you switch on the ignition. If it doesn't blow a fuse, one of those three wires is grounding out. If it does blow a fuse with all three wires disconnected, your problem is on the ignition switch / input side of the fuse. My guess is the windshield wiper motor is either wired wrong or shorting to ground. _________________ My Build: '69 Baja - Dark Earth Version

Thanks for the wiring info,
trying the method of removing each cable in turn to see if it blows the fuse is well worth trying.....thanks.
Unfortunately can’t get back to try it out for a week, work calls. |

The downside of that diagram is that it's not very clear what's going on with the ignition switch and the turn signal switch. Another downside is that that diagram is for the North American version of the Thing, which has some subtle differences.
Ronnie, is your car's wiper switch a knob on the dash or a stalk on the steering column? |

Take a look at the body of your hazard switch behind the dash panel.
Sometimes these switches come partially apart where the tabs on the metal body of the switch are peined over the plastic base.
If this has happened, it could be the cause of the problem you describe. |

Your chart also says fuse 1-8 are 3 amp, as far as I know all are 8 amp fuses except number 9 which is a 16 amp. Maybe that’s why your blowing fuses only using 3 amp??? Here’s a fuse panel chart in color.
