MadManMike Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Right,My partner drives a J reg 106 1.1 xn - Lately the indicators have been playing up, sometimes they wouldn't come on when you tried to indicate left or right, but now they've completely died and it seems to affect Hazard lights too.You press the Hazard button and you can hear a click in the fuse box like it's doing something, likewise with the indicator stalk.It seems to me like a loose connection in the wiring as it didn't suddenly go (ie it's not the fuse or the bulbs).Am I correct? If so, how easy is it to get to the cables behind the fuse box? I'm sure that's where the loose connection is, as the indicator stalk and hazard light button are not together (ie they'd both have to go at the same time - highly unlikely). Therefore I assume it's at the back of the fusebox or before they branch off to each control...Any ideas chappies?Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endofreak Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Definately sounds like the relay needs changing. It can be found behind the glove box. Should be easy enough to find if you can get it to click using the hazard switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I think that'll go down as my 'Overreaction of the Week™" Joe xI do find it amusing that if, for example, my good friend Jon had said that everyone would have laughed their arse off, but then Fatboy does make a habbit of rubbing people up the wrong way so gotta expect a bit of backlash I guess. I think it's amusing that no one likes him and he seems to actually enjoy it, haha, good for you Fatso!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
