Indicators suddenly US

Post by TopCat »

Took Herman out for a spin in the dry today

also went through car wash

then suddenly no indicators- hazard works but slowly- all bulbs are OK because of the flashing that accompanies the alarm

where is the flasher relay thing please? NB Herman is LHD and the fuse box is still in German! Is the relay somewhere under steering column?

Indeed the relay is under the steering column. Remove the bottom cover and you will see it.

Thx hav ordered a new one from GSF and will fit IDC

BTW I got an advisory as parking guy didn't like the spacing on my Number plate- whilst parked at ferry terminal where the parking people have a field day with not much to do

frankly I think he is overreacting- I told him that my No plates were hardly in italics etc as I have seen about the place-I shall do some homework before doing anything about it!
