something wrong with indicators

[brad1]

hi all
was out last night and noticed something terribly wrong with my indicators. if i put them on, it does the first normal flash in the arrows near the dials them half a flash. sometimes it doesnt even flash. car is running fine though
any help
cheers guys

have you tried checking the bulb connections? when one of mine was loose it caused the indicator to flash at double speed. just tightened it up to fix.

 

[brad1]

its not a double flash tho, just stops flashing even tho indicator is in the on position

 

[skahigh]

i realise that but it wouldnt neccessarily manifest iself in the same way. its only a suggestion and it takes 30 seconds to check.

 

[brad1]

will go and have a look mate but if no joy will let you know

 

[brad1]

the hazards are playing up aswell. so both are not functioning properly

 

[brad1]

also while checking out the indicators, i dont think this could be the reason but since i had my bumper changed this cable is hanging down, i dont know whats it for and dont see anywhere it can go. its hanging down just infront of the passenger wheel arch

 

[brad1]

anyone??

the thing thats hangin loose, is the tempsensor for the outside temp gauge.
I think your indicatorrelais is busted, i had the same with my car, a while ago, its a common problem with Leon's.
You need a new hazzard-switch, the relais in in the switch

do able, but tight to work with...i got mine out to connect my wing mirror indicators to the relay.
you need to remove the plastic console surround,but not totally off ... i did mine just enough to get at the relay...which is just a case of pushing unit from behind..unplug and reconnect.
