Indicator problem

Post

Back to the top
Today my indicators stopped working. They were working this morning and now the light is slightly glowing and when I do indicate the light goes solid green and does nothing else. It don't even light up any of the light out side the car but the hazard lights fine. 

Anyone had this before??? Or got any ideas what it could be. 

Thank you

I had the same thing - the connection to the hazard switch was loose, pulled the switch out, secured it all at the back and it worked fine again. Other than that check the fuses etc.

I have the same problem I have the series one fuse box with 15 fuses and all them are intact. We checked back of switch all fine. The hazards work soon as you turn them off and use indicators just stay green no "tick tock" help would be appreciated we been on off it for 2 days now. It's slowing the process down this problem  :'( :offtopic:

Are you sure the blue/black wire mentioned above is connected at the back of the switch? If it falls off it's not always obvious as it's not part of the plug.
I only ask as this happened to me once…

I've got no blue black wire I have found it on the back of the fog switch so I swapped it over to the hazard switch and it works fine now must be a dodgy earth as the right side ticks to fast. But know the fog lights don't work anymore. So I believe that that feed is needed for both to work so is it worth taking a feed off the blue black wire from
Hazard switch to the dogs aswell?

Used the 12v supply to fogs got those working too now. Only issue is can't get the led to work on the fogs. Tried new earth etc no luck anybody any ideas

led should come on the 2nd click to warn about the rear fogs, its powered by the same feed which powers on the rear fog grey/white wire so if its not lighting up the bulb must have blown.

I dont have a diagram for the fog light switch on my work pc right now, but it looks like the power for the foglight switch should be fed from spade G4 on the fusebox, this is linked to the light switch and will be powered on the 1st click.

you're missing the earth that'll be why :)
pin 31 needs an earth plus pin 58b needs a wire to your dash lighting feed (grey/blue) so it lights up with the dash illumination
