My indicators have stopped working on the passenger side. They still work fine on the driver's side. Also the hazards don't work. I've moved the petrol tank and had a wiggle at the earth but still nothing. It's recently had the tank and lights out at the body shop which is making me think it is in that area rather than a fuse.

Any help appreciated, cheers

Which lights were out at the body shop? You are most likely correct in focussing on things that have had attention recently, but I can't immediately see how that would affect both front and rear indicators.

The wire you need to look at is green/white, originates from the indicator switch, and somewhere splits at a bullet connector, one running forward to join the front indicator wire behind the grille, the other running back to join the rear indicator in the boot. Ypu could have a double fault, both disconnected, but as a precaution try new bulbs first.

As for the hazards, if the interior light is also not working, check the fuse, probably in-line type behind the air cleaner, which has an incoming brown wire and outgoing purple/white, failing which, replace the hazard flasher, somewhere in the underbonnet area. If that does not cure it, it is time to look at the switch, which is special and can not be replaced by a standard switch.

Come back and tell us how you get on, and I may be able to come up with some more suggestions.
