Help - indicators, or lack of
« on: 24 June 2014, 20:52:40 »
Car - '03 2.6 V6 Estate.

Indicators have packed up - will flash ok once only.  Same with hazards - one flash then nothing.  Indicators still all flash ok on locking/unlocking car on fob.
Tried switching hazard switch on/off about 30 - 40 times - no change.
Guess that rules out fuse - looking at wiring diag suspect it may be a dodgy relay (K10) - perhaps someone can advise.

If relay, which one is it?  And is there a similar one I can swap to check?

Thanks

I'd be changing the flasher unit first - in fusebox, it is labelled (on the cover)

Well I've replaced the "flasher" relay (09 148 292) with a known working one, as well as the hazard switch with a known working one - now indicators come on and stay on until cancelled, no flashing - same with the hazard switch.

Suspect now the alarm indicator relay (90 060 264), as I believe someone else cured this issue by replacing this relay.
Any other suggestions guys?

Continuing the saga - replaced the alarm indicator relay (90 060 264) today courtesy of Serek (the one up behind the glovebox) - still no change to indicator operation, although needed to recode radio as it came up SAFE.  As now getting desperate, swapped out the indicator switch itself - still no difference.

Now at a loss - anyone out there got any other ideas?

On other cars ive had loose wire/plug behind fuse box that the relay plugs into  :y

Have you tried wriggling them around while indicators are on and relay plugged in.

No not yet - will give it a go tomorrow when I try yet another "flasher" relay - although have tried "waggling" the relay.
Giving it a break for rest of today :-\

Is the relay plugged in correctly, did you bend any of its pins when pushing in, tall black one top centre from memory.  :-\
