Indicators not working

[moneypit23 0]

Typical, fixed one ot two things and something else goes AGAIN!!

 

This time it is my indicators, they suddenly stopped working driving home the other day so i changed the fuse (17) and it was all good. The key was in the ignition but the engine wasn't running when i chanaged the fuse but the next time i drove it, it happened again.

 

Is this due to a dodgy earth wire or bulb and what do i look for?

 

If anyone can help me i'd be really grateful as i can't drive it without indicators (ok for beemer pilots but not for me) and i really need a car this week.

 

Thanks, Kate

Well worth checking the relay - that was the problem when they stopped working on my Aqua Blue G60, sometimes the relay can just work loose so before investing in a new one check that its fitting properly - can't remember which relay controls the indicators but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm

I've got a few spare but i bet its not any of those.

Hi there this sorta happened with me, my indicators weren't flashing and the lights on the dash just stayed on (didn't blink) I thought it may have been whats been suggested above but i tried turning the hazard lights on, which made the indictators works fine, and now they work as normal no problems!!??

 

Very odd thing but at least they work okay now. :)
