sounds like you have a bulb blown, bad earth or wiring fault.

is there a ANY indicators illuminating on the outside?

how about the 4-Ways? what happens when thats pressed?

Nope i would think that is the hazzad switch. Make sure its pushed in all the way.

Have you even got a hazard switch in it? as thats what happens when you take the hazard switch out.

Also the 4th relay might well be the lights on buzzer if you dont have one. It's the middle one in the row of 3 if i remember correctly.

hi, thanks for all your help the hazards switch is broken and when pushed in the indicators wont go off, so maybe thats the problem, but to answer meritlover no the indicators do not come on when i try to turn them on, so do you think i should get a new hazzard switch then see if it works??

Check the hazard is in correctly and is connected up.

I sprayed my dash and when I put the dash back in this happened to me worked out i never connected the hazard back up properly, now it fine

read his last post.

You need to find a new or working hazzard switch as the indicators wont work without it. Just tap the hazzard switch up onto the dash so it stays pushed (AKA off) or buy another. I seem to have collected a fair amout of working switchs latly and they have eather been free or cheap (minus the 2brand new ones ofc)

whoah novaguys's on a bit of a mad one there lol prob work

im guessing your switch has lost the ability to turn off, so youve pulled it out right ?

when its plugged in, try givvin it a lil pull rather than a push right before u push it in to turn it off, ive noticed most of that style switch responds to that method and catches on the close stroke after the pull, if not ppppftt, what can i say, new switch, but it might help u out for the time beeing till u sort somet out, if not a m8 of mine once taped his down to the dash to keep it from going off, did the job untill he could find a replacement.

like he said the indicators run thru the hazard switch wiring, so any fault within that department would most prob point at that.
if the switch is unplugged the indicators wont work prety simply put.

Dont mess around buying a new one, it will just break again. If you dont have the inclination to modify it for free, but your willing to buy a new one, send it me and il mod it for you.
