Title: Indicator issue 😧
Post by: Steve mk2 on May 24, 2022, 06:15:25 PM
Hi all,
I’m having a bit of an issue which seems it might be a common one. My indicators and hazards are now not working and the dash light is constantly on with a green glow.
Can anyone give me some advice on what I should be looking at to sort this?
Thanks all

Are you saying all worked fine then without doing anything this problem started?
Have you got a water leak into the fuse box under the dash? I had the very same symptoms. Now the windscreen has been re-sealed and the fuse box dried all appears OK.

Yeah there could possibly be some water getting in. Did you need to change the fuse or relay or did it just start working again after having the window re sealed?

Hi!

Three main things it could be is:
Fusebox - as mentioned by Andy
Dead Relay - potentially linked to the fuse box
Dead indicator stalk -  can still get new ones and quite cheap too
Happy hunting!

Ohh, that's a good point, I'd just assumed it was CE2.
