Probably a fuse. Check your fusebox (under the bonnet, little black box at the rear of the engien bay, should just lift the lid off. Indicators are 3rd fuse down i think? Try them all though.)

yup, sounds like a fuse to me! have your reverse lights stopped working and your brake lights too? if so then its a fuse because i had this problem alot revere switch was shorting everything out everytime i went to reverse somewhere! got very annoying! needed to stop it from touching the exhaust. stupid decat pipe.

All other lights ok tryed top two fuses aswell

It's the indicator relay gone pop, not a fuse. On a '91 it's under the dash behind the clocks somewhere. Little silver box with 2 wires on it. The hazards will still work as they are on a different circuit.

I have had this problem, it sounds like your indicator relay...I have got through 4 of them in the past 5 months...HELP!!??

Dont buy cheap relays from Halfrauds

I went through about 4 in a short period of time, bought one from the local motor factors which inidently looks exactly the same as the halfrauds ones and it has been fine for a couple of months.

Think halfrauds must have bought an el cheapo batch from somewhere that where dodgy.

You can also convert it to a newer electric type unit, just involves adding an earth wire in.

If you want to test if it is the relay, get a short piece of wire and put it between the two connectors, if the indicators come on (you need to switch the stalk) then its the relay. I know carry a short piece of wire with spade connectors in the car should the relay fail then I can stick that in and flick the stalk up and down
