Was driving home yesterday and noticed the LHS indicator was constantly illuminated on the dash, cleared the indicator and pressed it down again after around 3-5 flashes it stuck again. same problem with the LHS too.

relay sticking, it's part of your hazard switch so you need to replace the whole thing

Easiest way is to pop out the drinks holder (two metal tabs on each side) and get your fingers behind it and push the hazard switch out.

 That way you wont mark the dash  :smiley:
