Indicator 'Ticking'

[Sad Marvin]

Hi All,
Has anyone else had the problem where when the indicators cancle that the 'ticking' continues?

I am just wondering what is the most likely cause or what needs to be replaced to stop this from happening.

Thanks
Marvin

as a guess, the relay

when the ticking continues do the indicators still flash?

stalk

have seen this a few times on passats at work normally it ends up being indicator stalk being worn

I had this a while ago and as silver surfer says it was the indicator stalk. I just sprayed some WD40 in there and that solved it. That was last July and it's not happened again.

I had / have that problem, however it is not the indicator stalk since it happens when I use the hazards... any clues? It only happens sometimes... The last time it did it alllll the way from Newcastle to Alton Towers! (a very annoying 3 hr drive!)

i always read storys about this being the relay... which is the hazzard switch if this makes sense. So i replaced that last week and its started doing it again... so waste of money that was. I guess my best bet now is to soak the indicator stalk in wd40 and see how i get on

If that works then let us know Stefan!

Cheers

Sorry to thread hi-jack here! But I have indicator issues (only flash once then stop on hazards or indicators) so 99% sure I need a hazard switch relay unit.

Only trouble is I'm having real trouble getting hold of one!!

Does anyone know if one from a Golf MK4 will fit if i swap the front over?

Dont quote me on this, but im sure a friend who had the same problem replaced it with a relay from a scrapped mk4 golf... Just found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-flasher-indicator-relay-no-21_W0QQitemZ280483718895QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item414e21e6ef#ht_500wt_750

I think that would only apply if the indicators didnt work at all... my understanding was the relay was inside the hazzard switch unit... Theres quite a few threads on it if you do a search in the leon section
