indicators not working

[Simbaroo]

Driving the car today and when I thought I was indicating nothing kinda annoyed a few people on round abouts whoops sorry, I have checked all bulbs, fuses, wires etc could it be a duff relay? The hazzads dont work either or the high beam on the stork but the cruise control is fine :s any ideas?

Thanks

Could be dodgy ignition switch was on mine, try turning key back a little

[martybelfastt5]

sounds like the ignition return spring as dal says,,

I had a funny spring on my old 850 had the wiggle the key everytime you turned it on, i found that lots of stuff didnt work when it was
speedo
abs (light on)
tracs
head lights low and high
indicators
Never tried the CT tho
but as i said a little wiggle all comes back... if its not the key maybe the relay?

Aha ill give it a wiggle lol everything else works bit the high beam and indicator, even when i lock the car with the fob it doesnt flash like normal which says to me the relay?

[Brett855tdi]

yea but i would have thought the high beam would still b ok :s
i wonder how many times a relay like that has flashed in its life time lol

Yeah its a strange one maybe its both anyone know where they situated anyone got laying around, ha ha yeah a hell of a lot of flashing lol

I had the same problem years ago, as said above it's likely to be a dodgey ignition switch

[Simbaroo]

Right i have tried wiggling the key no joy so could be relay?

[Brett855tdi]

I would try the relay next..... but the high beam is weird to go with that too

[Brett855tdi]

Im not sure where its TBH i think its with the others in the compartment behind the fuse box (top of the box off )
However the ticking comes from in the dash... so im not 100% sorry but hope its helps

[Simbaroo]

Right i shall investigate more, maybe the indicator relay does the high beam too but thanks for the help :)

If the indicators and high beam aren't working properly it could be the column switch itself, though this wouldn't explain the hazards

[Simbaroo]

i read somewhere that the relay is the hazzard switch anyone know if this is true?

[Simbaroo]

I have replaced the hazzard switch because was told it is the relay but no luck so next step reaplace the indicator stalk see what happens
