Take both switches off (wipers and indicators) and give them a good blast with electrical contact cleaner spray. NOT WD40 or GT85, that'll bugger it right up. Also check your hazard switch if you can get it apart..... My Mk2 did this once and it worked ok without the hazard switch so I did that till I could get a new one.

sounds like a short some where bud, if it works when you mess with the hazard switch i would start there, try and get a new one!  :smiley:
