Buzzing indicators
My indicators are starting to drive me utterly mad.
Some times they're fine and work properly then for no other reason than the sky isn't blue enough they'll buzz every time I try and use them. I've stripped and cleaned the stalks and checked the relay which seems to work but you can never be too sure. Think my only other option is to check for a bad earth.
Anyone else got any better ideas?

Re: Buzzing indicators
Do you have any other electrical items or power source that may be causing interference?

Re: Buzzing indicators
I think that's my next option. Perhaps the flux capacitor is shorting out on something

Re: Buzzing indicators
That is a bad connection in the back of the fuse box usually down to previous water ingress and corrosion builds up and the high resistance usually begins to melt the connectors/wiring. Reach behind the box when its buzzing and press the connectors home (roughly the centre one in the middle - bright red from memory) and it should stop (for a while) Are your hazards doing the same?
If it is doing this i'd recommend changing the fusebox which is very easy

Re: Buzzing indicators
The hazards are fine but the water thing seems to hold merit as, like all roccos, I found water on the carpets when I first got it.

Cracking plan but there is no radio.
Going for the relay/crappy fuse box idea at the mo.
