Today I Fitted a New Speedo cable. While I was removing the old One I think Ive caught a wire or somthing because Since then, Ive noticed my Indicators are playing up BIIIG Time and I have no idea what is up.

Right, what it is, is This!....

ALL the Bulbs Work
They DO flash as Indicators, But not all the time, Sometimes they flash too fast, Sometimes they Just stay on. But they do all work.

when I hit the indicator button, the Headlights Dim, and the Battery light comes on very dim'ly on the clocks.


My hazards dont work at all, The switch dosent even light up.



Any ideas on whats up with it?
Ive taken a look on the back of the clcks and everything looks fine.

Haven't you just had a front wing replaced? Might be an idea to check the wiring to the indicator on that side. Could be a short circuit there.

There are two flasher units. One for the indicators and one for the hazards, so unless both are knackered the problem will be somewhere else.

Right, now I have NO indicators or Hazards what so ever.
The hazard switch does NOTHING.

The indicator stalk does nothing.


The horn and High beam settings on the stalk still work though, so its not the switch gear I dont think.


Shall have a gander round tomorrow on my day off.

had a similar problem and it turned out ot be a faulty hazzard switch. if it even has a partial connection (not enought to get the hazzards working then it locks out the indicators!
Try a new hazzard switch
