Faulty indicators

[paul mccracken]

can anyone advise me on how to fix my indicators as the have decided not to flash unless I flick on the hazards first. Have tried changing the hazard switch with no sucess and was looking to change the relay but not sure which one to change as I dont have an owners manual to identify which is which in the fuse box. Any advice would be welcome.
cheers

Top middle one in the fuse box by your right knee. Part no. 9005 5543. To the right is for the windscreen wipers. Dunno what the others are.

Got a cavalier 1.8 auto M reg... experiencing same problem with faulty indicators...they work, then they don't...using hazards briefly seems to get them working again...puzzled ! anyone help please.

its only going to be the switch or the relay.

cheers gaz...i have replaced the flasher unit...so it must be the other thing you mentioned, the switch.. can you explain please..

the inidicator stalk or the hazard switch as all the indicator wiring runs through it

thanks indeed..got an MOT next week...so need to sort it. Any advice on how to check stalk and also hazard switch would be greatly appreciated..

Faulty hazard switch connection will give a similar fault,
Either dogey switch (most likely) or poor connection.

Thanks guys..any tips on how to 'check' hazard switch or indicator arm/switch...and what to look for ?

Thanks guys...the fault was with the hazard switch.. easily sorted in the end. It sailed through the MOT..(not even an advisory note)
