Hi guys, my driverside indicator is constantly on when selecting right turn, I have noticed the bulb has gone under head lamp, can this cause the indicators not to flash? The drivers side flashes fine when hazard lights on? Any feedback would be appreciated

Cheers

I had the exact same thing, had to replace the bulb and the relay.

Could be the flasher can that's located under the dash I had to change mine but that was because I have no flash what so ever. Could be a number of things as you have one that flashes and one that doesn't. Sorry if this didn't help I'm sure someone will be along later and be able to tell you.

The passenger side works fine and works fine when hazards on. That's what I can't get my head around, noticed that one bulb was out and was hoping down to that?

Yes if the bulbs gone it wont draw enough current to make the flasher unit make an break the circuit, easier to whip a new 21w 1v bulb in before looking at dirty connection and a bad earth

I thought so, I am guessing this is why flashing fine when hazards on as lights on other side drawing the additional current to make flash?

The hazards will flash on 3 bulbs, if its not flashing slip in a new bulb, if its not flashing then check for 12v on the centre pin and then the earth is ok, and the bullet connectors behind the grill
