Technical all turn indicators suddenly dead on 1.4 (M)

[tipofftheiceberg]

Today all my turn indicators are not responding. MOT passed last week. Checked 7.5A fuse (OK).
What do I do now? I'm not sure which relay is the ticking control. Please help.

relay for indicators in main fusebox under dash.try the hazards.are they working? if not,relay gone.if so,wiring problem/stalk problem.

Similar thing happend to me when my car was left un driven for about 3 months. when I got it back on road the Indicators were not working but if I can remember correctly the Hazzards were.

The Indicators came back to life by themselves and have not died since.

Might just be a loose something. Hit the Box behind the steering wheel a couple of times... or more technically take the cover off and see if there is anything looking a bit suspect.

another way is to test the wiring at one of the indicators if the hazards dont work.if hazards work,look at stalk switch.switch might want cleaning.

Common problem on the Tipos I had (1.6 DGT, 1.9 TDSX), and my mates (1.4)......

Indicators don't work. So turn on Hazards for about 2 flashes and then they work. Now replace the Hazard light switch as they are a load of rubbish. 2 screws on the steering column cowl, then 2 screws for the switch itself.

It used to be fun on the Motorway trying to overtake someone when the indicators wouldn't respond, then putting your Hazard lights on and then off, and finally getting the indicators to work once you've passed them
