Help!! My indicators have stopped working! When I flick the switch just the idiot light comes on and stays on. No life comins from the relay have tried swopping it with a 'spare' one though not sure if its fooked or not.

Have checked all fuses and they are okay. Hazards not working either i thought it could be hazard switch so id there a way of bypassing this?

Not sure what else to do as I gotta get to work tomorrow and certain 90% of road users don;t know what a hand signal is! :(

Can anyone advise me as I'm shafted other wise

If your hazards arent working just check they are switched off before you check your indicators, done this many times before, as when you have hazards on your indicators wont work, hours I have spent tryin to fix indicators that werent broke!!!

SOrry I cant be more help but it will at least eliminate one possibility.

no worries

90% chance its the relay. Check all connections to relay first, if they all look good, pop to ECP and get a new one.

I'm certain its the relay, Buy a new one then check again, as i had a similar problem and went through 3 relays before realising they were all fucked.

well i took out the hazard switch and had a look inside at which the whole thing sprung apart and dog ran over and ate half the bits! :(

But even without hazard switch in (which I am sure feeds the relay) the idiot light still comes on when you pull lever. So I 'm guessing its the hazard switch. I've ordered one from fishers which should come tomorrow or weds. So until then its hands signals and road rage for me! :twisted:

If anyone else has any ideas i'll be happy to hear em :)
