Is it the illuminated switch for two door cars or the non-illuminated 'timer' switch? Do you have the wiring diagram as this will make things clear.

Hi,it’s the timer switch.It is wired as per diagram but the actual contacts do not seem to connect as timer is activated.

This article may help: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/ts101.htm
Are you sure it is the switch and not the operation/earthing of the trafficators?

Trafficator’s are working on a manual switch but would like to put the timer switch back on.
