    Default VS indicators not working

    Hey, the title explains my problem the indicators decided to stop working, for what reason i dont know, but i sussed out the fuse even tho it runs off the same fuse as the wipers and they are all ok. So i checked the relay, also all ok, i have no idea why it would just stop working, the high beam works on the stalk just not the indicators. So any ideas or knowledge would be much appreciated!

    Try pressing the hazard button a few times - if this plays up it kills the flashers. This is a common problem.

    Hi bud

    If you press you're Hazard Light button, will the indicators work?
    On the Relay, are the 'prongs' burnt out ?
    When you try to indicat Left or Right do you hear any Clicking sounds to know if its working, but with no lights?

    It's possible that the wires behind the fuse board may have burnt out for the indicators, (doubt it tho)
    You might have a bad wire somewhere thats shorting out,
    If you have a Towbar, you most likely will have the Trailer Harness for it.. A lot of issues is caused by it, over time it gets old and shits out..And causes problems.. Like mine did LOL

    That's because the indicators are wired through the hazard switch.


    Did you try another flasher can? (looks like a relay)

    Ahh not good,

    The main places I firstly look for faulty wires.. is in the rear, go from the the taillight wires to the loom plug, and see if the plug is rooted or causing issues.

    Maybe replace the indicator stalk? If that breaks the hazard lights will not work as far as I know...

    Maybe the same thing?

    It's the thing that makes the (causes the on/off action) clicking sound when the indicators flash.
