I'm having a little problem with the front indicators simply not working, at first it was the drivers side now the passengers one has gone too.

When I indicate the side and rear indicators flash very quickly but the front ones aren't working. The first one stopped working after I had the accident but the other stopped today.

I've swapped both bulbs with no success, are there any other simple things to try/common problems or could it be literally anything?

Unplug the connector and clean the contacts up , will prob just be a bad connection

try wiggling the connector. pull out and put back a few times. most surely it´s just dirty. try wd-40, just a tiny spray inside the connector pins.

I will give that a go tomorrow, a nice clean up and plenty of WD-40, I hope it's a simple fix like that really. I was close to putting the indicators in the neighbours garden today so I will do it when I'm a bit calmer lol

I had same problem all mine was down to was poor connection to the connector i just gave wires a wiggle and a clean and works like new now

on one side could be down to a broken wire

Get the test lamp out and check you have a supply at the connector. It is most likely corrosion in the connector.

Pencil with erasor on end sharpen erasor with craft knife to a point and push in and twist. Maplin's do an electrical contact cleaner, replacing the bulbs may help as well, or filing the ends.

Mine were full of water which did not help..

That is not what I want to hear!!

Broken wire is no big deal. Clean up, vaseline or silicone grease on the connectors, if that does'nt work, test for 12v with a multimeter and determine whether the live or earth side is down.

I've got the same issue to sort tomorrow (if I don't end up playing with the welder).

I've just given both the indicators a clean up with some WD40 and stuff.

The passengers side one didn't work then after I put it back in and clipped the indicator itself in, it just started working

The drivers side one I think needs more than a quick clean up


On a side note, is there anyway to adjust the drivers door? It won't shut as easily as the passenger one (Even after plenty of white grease) and once it is shut the shut lines are bigger than the passengers side.
