If the vehicle has a towbar the connections would also need to be checked for corrosion or water in the socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Had a couple of issues with indicators, and they are related to the 'lane change' function. The first is a mechnical/electrical problem, the indicator stalk is moved to position where it should remain on, but for some reason only the lane change works, so it stops after a few flashes, it seems to happen at random and never been able to replicate when having time to investigate. The second problem is operator error, I've done it a couple of times, but gf is a serial offender, basicaly you attempt to turn off the lane change by a light touch opposite way, you end up constantly indicating left, then right, then left, then right etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, after checking, you need a flasher unit (which is far less likely) make sure you buy one that is suitable for use with a towbar as these tend to be heavy duty.

Cattwg Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This is something I posted about two years ago. The symptoms do not exactly match yours but if the fault is not with your tow bracket then it may be worth looking at this solution. The vehicle was a 2010, X250 Fiat. “I recently had a very intermittent fault on the off-side indicators – the front one would work, the dashboard repeat would work but the rear indicator would not. I checked the usual suspects - bulb, poor connection, fuse etc. but to no avail. The problem worsened yesterday when the key fob and separate alarm fob became ineffective. I eventually found a blown fuse in the alarm unit – changed it and all the faults cleared. All was OK – or so I thought!! On rechecking that the fault was indeed cleared I saw that a different fault had manifested itself - neither of the indicators were working properly – a completely different problem. Further investigation found that the wiring bundle from the doorjamb into the driver’s door had chaffed on the metal work. So much so that bare wires could be seen in two distinct areas – hence the blown fuse. I repaired this and covered the wiring bundle with plastic tubing. I then checked the passenger side and again there were signs of chaffing; I resorted to the tubing again.” Cattwg :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Had forgotten about that one, the loom has to pass throu two thicknesses of metal in the door pillar, the visable one has a rubber gromet, but behind that the next hole is a sharp edge, I made up a split grommet for mine.
