So my indicators seem to intermittently keep stop working and then will then start working again.

I've replaced the flasher relay and even when they're not working there is still 12v constant at the relay.

I also lost all my lights the other day while driving so had to pull my flash of high beams on which worked.

Could the stalk be the culprit? Or is there some other likely places to check? (I got rid of the bullet connectors behind the grill years ago so it won't be them)

It's a 1994 sprite if that's any help.

Check for loose connections at the top fuse (4 fuse box) also check earth's and then the stalk last

Ideal, will do this tomorrow weather permitting.

The whole fuse box itself can start to fail as well. I was getting intermittent failure of my wiper/tach/heater, and when I pulled the fuse box, there was a bunch of corrosion on some of the connectors on the back.

+1, my lights and indicators were doing strange things, I unscrewed the fusebox from the bulkhead and found the whole fusebox was corroded, so I replaced it and it’s been fine.

Hmm so I whipped the fuse box off the bulkhead and it is pretty corroded up on the back! So I've ordered one from minispares and will give that a go thank you.

Hopefully it fixes it but I figured if not it can't hurt

So update on this, I swapped the fuse box and it seems like that has solved the indicator issue.

So thank you for the help.

And the light issue I believe is the aftermarket toggle switch is on its way out so will swap that for a new one.

Cheers
