Indicators sticking
« on: January 18, 2012, 06:14:00 PM »
My indicators are sticking, both of them when I choose left or right they just stay illuminated. However, when I turn the indicators off and put the hazard lights on, they do flash?!

Could this be a relay problem, or is it something to do with the indicator stalk?

Thanks!

The indicators and hazards have seperate relays. Sounds like the indicator relay is 'stuck'. It's located in the boot under the scuttle panel on the right hand side of the car (RHD drivers side).

Thanks for the reply, my dad had a look and his work mate thought it was the flasher unit, and he was right! Ready to go back on the road tonight :)

Mine does the same if the fuse cover is on, take it off and it's fine. I've got a weird tall,round relay.
My hazards flash alternately, unless I put the heater fan on, then the right indicators just come on and stay on ???
