bugsntinas 29 Posted October 20, 2010 hope someone can help.we have this annoying problem with the indicators and it's peeing us off.it is as follows: they work fine for days then the wife comes home from work all'swell.i take boys to school they don't work.i get home park up still not working.go out later to sort them they work :thumbup: .now i could understand if there was a loose wire and when ya hit bumps they stopped but they change when parked up.the hazards work all the time regardless of indicators.please help.

bugsntinas 29 Posted October 20, 2010 replaced the indicator swich/arm as the old one was a bit worn.thought it might be the relay switch but surely that would fail out right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mk3 dave 9 Posted October 24, 2010 Had the same problem with a mk2 escort a few years back and it turned out to be a dodgy hazard light switch. Could be worth trying another one of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bugsntinas 29 Posted October 25, 2010 i'll try that one aswell.been thinking about it as it done it again today surely it wouldn't be the flasher unit 'cause the hazards work when the indicators don't.could it be a short in the instrument panel do ya think?
