Hello everyone, I just found this site whilst searching for help with my Panda's headlight problem, whereby the lights seem to flash from dipped to full beam as the indicator cancels, and am pleased to say I've found it really helpful. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be needing a new indicator stalk, which will probably be ridiculously expensive, but I can't have my pupils driving down the street flashing the headlights every time they go around a corner! That's almost as dangerous as them having to repeatedly reapply the indicator every time they go round a roundabout (!). Anyway, I do love my little Panda, and I'll let you know how I get on with fixing it and what kind of quotes I'm getting... gulp! Can't help feeling that the over exuberant cancelling mechanism and my heavy handed pupils crunching it back on might have caused this fault though :(

Any help gratefully received!
 
I sprayed switch cleaner, a solvent spray which you will probably get in Maplins, into the indicator switch on a 1.1 Active with this fault and it seems to have worked.
Doesn't appear to cause any damage either.
Probably worth a try as it's cheap and easy to do.
