Indicator problem??

[Martferguson]

only happened last night which is well annoying.

indicators were fine and then suddenly they dont work!!??

they flash once and then stop flashing, all i get is the little green light on the dashboard which usually flashes, comes on. but it doesn't flash, it just stays green and no clicking is going on. any ideas what this might be?

i know its not the bulb because the lights flash like 3 times as quick if it is.

please shine some light on this, hope its not going to be too costly or hard to fix.

if the lights flash in quick succession (sp) its usually a bulb out.

If not it could be the relay (in the fuse box).

sounds like relay, but i can never remember which 1 out the 3 it is, try flicking them 1 at a time with the indicator on. i just replaced all 3 with 1s from a scrapper last time

thats cool, doesn't sound too difficult then.

would a new one be expensive of is it easier to just take a trip to the scrappy and take one out.

my initial thoughts were that it was the relay because it wasn't clicking on/off any more. will have ago when i've finished college and let you all know the result when i can.

thanks for the info and help boys. much aprechiated.(dunno how to spell!!)
