Indicator problems!

Post by COVDUBS »

Hi all got a puzzling electrical problem.

Front indicators work but side repeaters don't.
Rear drivers side indicator works but passenger side does't but breaklight flashes!
All bulbs are fine in the none working indicators.

Desperately need some help with this because it is driving me up the wall and its the only thing standing between me and an MOT.

Remove the bulb holders, unplug them, clean the contacts. Remove bulbs individually. Clean the contacts. (They're prone to oxidising) That'll make a good start!
