Indicator issue

[Scottcooper85]

So another problem lol

my indicators were working fine, obviously it doesn't get much use on the drive though. Pulled it out today gave it a quick wash and took it for a cheeky spin around the block and 2 indicators are playing up.
its the drivers wing and back ones front seems okay as does all passenger.

bulbs are okay
fuse okay
relay clicks
tried another hazard switch

is there anything else it could be?

[meritlover]

Wires?

[Scottcooper85]

That's what I was thinking but seems strange to just randomly happen and only to the side and rear and not the front one. Maybe they share a common wire

[Benn]

When you say playing up... What are they doing?

[Scottcooper85]

Nothing lol

on normal indicator the front flashes fast on it's own and on hazard the front and n/s ones flash at normal speed.

could a duff relay cause certain ones not to work or is there something these 2 share in common

[meritlover]

Earth points.

[Scottcooper85]

Normally if it's earth it stays on constant and all the other lights go dodgy... I'm baffled lol

think I'm going to try a different relay and if not start chasing wires back

No. How would a lamp stay on if it had no earth?

Something to look for then maybe the earth near the back light

When u say bulbs are ok have u tried new one in there just in case?

[Scottcooper85]

Not yet mate but both filament look okay and it seems strange they've gone at the exact same time, will try the passenger ones to fully eliminate it though.

Have u got earth from gearbox to chassis leg, I didn't on mine and was doing same thing and indicators wouldn't flash when locked, was causing allsorts of trouble before I got some good info from some members :)

Filament mite look alright but had it few times while at work when the bulb looks perfect but it's a actwally blown

[Scottcooper85]

Will have to have a proper check round tomorrow or sat. Pissed off though it's off for paint in 8 days and thought it was ready to go lol

Pat on the back for you mate. Both bulbs has blown at the same time and both looked in good condition. Changed them and it's sorted it... For now lol
