Yeh the back of the clocks for me aswell, bloody thing drove me nuts. usually the one going the battery warning light, that or its the diode in the alternator not turning off,(so new alternator) or the ignition switch is a bit naff. usually one of thoose three.

if not clock check the ignition switch on the end of the barral for wear

My GSi is doing this when the hazard light switch is in place.

Have tried different switches that are working fine in other cars, but it's still doing it. Works fine when the switch is removed though.
Also the indicators don't flash, just stay on, anyone any ideas?
