What have you already checked?

Checked fuses, can't be the relay as the right hand ones still work, hazards work on the right side only. Confused

If they both stopped working then its unlikely to be the both bulbs, hence I'd suspect the fuses. Sometimes a fuse can remain intact but their contacts corrode, and this is enough to not make an electrical connection. Or a dodgy fuse can APPEAR intact but not pass current, for similar reasons. Best check with a multimeter, for example take the fuse out and look for 12V on the supply side of the fuse holder (just check both to find which one is which). This should provide more info.

It might be the indicator stalk, but these rarely fail. Or it could be a poor connection to/from it.

surely if it was a fuse neither side would work and the hazards would work both sides?

I thought they were fused one fuse for each side? And the hazard lights go through the same fuse? I'd need to look at the wiring diagram again.

Does it have one relay for the indicators and one for the hazards ? If show swop them over

If you can read this, thank a teacher,

1 relay for both the hazards and indicators, and only the 1 fuse for the indicators both sides. if neither the hazards or indicators work on 1 side then i would say the wire has snapped between the fusebox and the hazard switch.  what fusebox is it late blade or early ceramic?

the indicator wires run back to the pins on the hazard switch then from there to the fusebox, so if it was the hazard or indicator stalk that had died then the other one would still work if that makes sense?

of course it could be all the bulbs have blown at the same time too :lol:
