Title: Intermittant indicator
Post by: Deano2711 on 27 September 2011, 11:17
Been starting to have a bit of a problem with my left hand indicators recently. When I put the indicator on occasionaly I get just a ticking from behind the rear heated screen button. If I turn it off and back on after a few attempts the indicator comes on and then the problem does not happen again for a while. Turning right has not given me a problem as yet. Am I right in thinking there will be a relay behind the dash which is sticking/knackered ??  Or has anyone else experienced a similar problem ??

I think they along with the brake pedal switches are now modified / better design.
