    Default indicators wont flash

    hey there guys just a quick query this has been bugging me for a while, my indicators dont blink, they will just stay solid and they will occasionally blink if they feel like it, would you guys have any ideas?
    cheers

    Try pull the flasher unit (relay) out and give it a tap on the ground, sometimes this will free them up, or just buy a new one

    as above or the indicator arm may have dirty/poor connections. Seeing that the hazard lights work OK, I'd check the flasher and the arm first. Getting to the arm is easy ; just search for indicator/wiper stalk removal and you'll find the link
