My drivers side indicator is staying on all the time (not flashing just constantly on), the other side works fine but the driver side indicators (front, side repeater and rear) all stay lit even when indicating left. They also stay lit when i remove the keys! Anyone got any idea what this could be?!?!?!?!?

cheers

scratch

cheers guys

I tried changing the indicator stalk/hazard switch etc for a spare one i had but still didnt work. All the wiring looked ok, changed back to the original stalk (as the hazard light switch is cracked on my spare), cleaned up all the connections etc and its working again now! (and fixed the horn while i was at it!)

Hopefully it will be ok now although im still a little suspicious of the relay, if the relay goes do they tend to pack up altogether or can it be intermitent?

Am i right that the indicator relay is the top right one as you look at the fusebox?

cheers

cheers Lee..legend! Thumbs up

it has a number 21 on it (if thats the one!)

Im also wondering if it could something to do with the alarm/remote central locking? I have not bothered using it until today and not had the problem until today.

I just went out to move the car from the road outside my house onto my drive, pressed the alarm button to unlock it (and it flashes the indicators) and once again the drivers side indicator stayed on . Its too late to p!ss about with it now so i have to disconnect the battery and will have to get up early in the morning and have a look before work ! Evil or Very Mad

the joys of having an old dub again! lol!

cheers Lee, not gonna be able to make Billys bbq as Emma has organised one of our own tomorrow (your welcome to call in for a burger though if your not too full after!).

Can either send you a pre paid envelope to post it or just grab it at the next meet? (seems to be ok now i have stopped using the alarm/RCL but would feel better if i had a spare just incase!)
