Have you also checked the relay?  This is what happened to mine when the relay had gone.  Can't remember what number it is, but there's relay diagrams in the FAQ on here.  Merry Christmas by the way :D

Hmmmmm, that I really don't know.  Have to wait and see if anyone has any other ideas.  So they blink correctly when it's switched halfway?
If you are stumped and want to try changing the relay give me a shout; I got a load of relays off ebay so will probably have a spare indicator one you could have for a couple of quid plus postage.

Sounds like a dodgey wire to the switch, possibly a dodgey connector, make sure they are all connected properly, could be an earthing issue but immpossible to tell away from the car, hope that helps.

Sorry, I've been away…still am so I can't double check if I have the relay or not.  Should be back on the 2nd so just let me know if you have it sorted by then or if you still want the relay.  All the best, Jonathan

I had similar twice.  One was number 19 or 9 fuse (cant remember) and the other was a bad earth.

Having similar Problem.  Green light is always dimly lit on the dash and the indicators dont work.  The hazard lights work fine.
I have changed the switch to no avail.

Ive also noticed if I get the rocker on the Hazard switch to stay in between on and off (in the middle), then the indicators work again as above.

Im have a new Relay to swap on order, but suspect its an earth, but not sure where to look.

Any help aprieciated

this forum is just so so dope
just saved me a whole lotta heartache and made me feel more manly too ;)

i'm still having problems with taking out the dash, so that i can remove the lower dash, so that I can replace the carpet
but i'm also thinking of dying it, black.
