Hi there, brand new, need indicator help

[Toby843]

Hi there,
I've just this second joined and I have a problem already haha. My rear drivers side indicator doesn't work. The indicator light on the dash flashes fast, so I assumed a burnt out bulb, I replaced the bulb and it still did not work, I got home and it worked for a few days now its gone again and is back to flashing fast. Any help? Please.

remove bulb holder and clean make sure all wires are ok befor you put it back.
some peopole have rewired the back section. ( its a separate section of loom )

Well I took the light cluster out and had a look. Seemed to be alot of water in the indicator housing. Dried it all out but still no luck. Think I'll get a sparky to look at it.

turn the indicator off. or disconect the power then clean the terminals inside the cluster with some sand paper or alike make sure the bulb fits nicely and meets the terminals .

also you might find the earth might be missing

you need to wiggle the bulb in the holder to see if the fitting needs a tweak but remember you need power for that . so care or you will blow fuses or shock


simple fix anyone can do it
