Alan and Daisy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Went for a blat on Saturday and just as I was turning into my road I noticed that the flashers were not working, checked the fuse that's OK so I assume it is the flasher unit, is this a standard unit that can be bought from Halfords etc, I have taken it out and it looks std so best if I take it with me perhaps. Or is it something else, any suggestions. Alan Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Usual advice is to wiggle the flasher unit, and also cycle the hazard light switch a few times - this usually solves the problem See some pictures of the build here. 9000 miles completed!

Burt1969 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I agree with 7heavensoon. My old wiring is a bit dodgy at best but normally a flick of the hazard switch an a nudge to the wiring loom normally gets a response, particulary if none work. If its just one then normally its down to a dirty earth connection Our Kitty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan and Daisy Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks I tried wriggling everything and removed the fuse and flasher unit but no response. Alan Mature enthusiast Black with Silver stripe 1.8K super sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Almost certain to be the flasher switch or relay unit. Any locals you can substitute these with to pinpoint it? See some pictures of the build here. 9000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild bill Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I had this exact prob, replaced flasher and a broken bulb but still no joy then discovered hazard switch has to be fully off and mine has small amount of movement in it which stops the indicators working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Alan and Daisy 1. Do your hazards work? If they do then the fault is NOT the flasher unit as the hazards use the same unit. 2. It is then most likely to be a sticking or faulty hazard switch which has a corroded indicator terminal. Switch the hazards on and off a dozen times or so and that should clear any corrosion on the contacts. 3. If this doesn't cure it, then suspect your indicator switch. Check that the centre contact wire is OK on the back of the indicator switch. Do you get 12v on the centre terminal when you switch on the indicators? (you should). 4. If the hazards don't work either, then the flasher unit IS looking like the probable culprit OR the hazard switch is kaput.
