Indicators HELP!!!!!

Hi there was just driving back from work when i noticed when i turned left the indicator was flickering mega quick.

I checked the indicators and the O/S front and side were out but the back one was still working.

I checked and replaced the bulbs but there still not working.:x

Can anyone shed any light on my problem :x  :dontknow:

Have you checked that there is current going to the bulb holders, cleared them of any grime,rust,dirt etc. May be a wire off/broken somewhere?

Check the multiway connectors on the back of the fuse box. They can become loose. Also the actual pins inside the connectors can have a dodgy connection too. Give it a wiggle and see. Also check fuses…

I think front indicators are on block a (white one nearest passenger side)

Thanks guys will check these things

ps WOZA were did you get your small bumpers

ebay… Came from Australia.

I'm probably wrong but if a bulb has blown or in your case two it will cause less resistance resulting in a faster flash rate. I'd check then bulbs first.

Sorry, lazy post.

Tian :roll:

The housing that holds the bulbs are often very corroded - get some new ones from GSF if that is the case.

my indicators and hazards are not working on my 1988 golf gti cab .
the indicator lgiht on the dash remains constant

i have changed the fuse both the 4th from the left and 4th from the left - still didnt work.

i took out the  4th fuse from my other gti cab 1984 …and it showed the same problem - but i got a fully working fuse in my 1988 an it still dosent work.

the relays dosent make any noises….so i tested the relay….i took out the relay out of my 1988 cab and put it in to my other gti and it worked ..so it cudnt have been the relay

i have checked the hazard switch which most people on here say can be at fault…….i checked the connections..thier was one little connector that came off…but i reconnected that but still didnt work

i had my rear reg plate wires cut off when the boot lid was replace…and joined those wires back. but made no difference if they were connected/disconnected

can anyone help ? thnks

Sounds like an earthing issue. Checkk all earths, connections behind fusebox etc...

**** PROBLEM SOLVED****

THANKS WOZA for putting me back in the direction of the fuse box

FAULTY RELAY CONNECTORS IN THE FUSE BOX - this time round i twiggled around with the relay while connected ……it made wierd noises so i knew it was a loose connection ……so i wrapped the connectors of the relay with kitchen foil….and it was fine …….

thats the first thing i did when indicators stoped working…but didnt make any noises ..may have also have been a blown fuse that i replaced…which appeared ok

Glad you got it sorted...

Very good! I forgot about that when i took my front bumper off! I was thinking about the flasher unit… but is that just on newer cars?

Brill thanks for the heads up!

similar to what Tian said but the dash on my driver hasnt worked for a while so i dont get the flashing green LED when indicating and the relay clicks at a much quicker rate. Maybe check the LEDs working properly.
