indicators not flashing

lnewland · 14-12-2007, 01:00

hey all just wondered if anyone could help.
Towed my trailer today and everything was working fine. when i got home i disconnected the trailer and unplugged wiring. this was done whilst engine still running and lights on. parked up car. about 2 hours later i had to go out and noticed that when i indicated the indicator would come on but not flash. does anyone have any ideas what it could be. when i lock and unlock car they flash then but not when idicating or hazards on.
i did pop into Halfrauds to see if they had a flasher unit but they didnts am i heading in the right direction

The flasher unit is contained within the Hazard Flasher Switch, quiet a common failure so I'd expect your dealer would carry one. That said it may not be the cause of your problem but is certainly worth eliminating for the cost involved.

I agree with Stu
Get that hazard switch changed first

to eliminate that problem , then see how you go

Something silly like about £12 I think.

Last one I sold was around £25 + VAT. See if you can get the one with the part number that ends in E300 rather than B300 as this is an uprated one for towing.

1U0 953 235E 300 - £28.36 when last checked.
