Hi,

I'm having some problems with indicators, first, the temperature indicator stopped working, and then the turn signals, the emergency mode works so it's not the bulbs, but the turn signal indicator and lights don't work, it makes the ticking sound though but no lights.
Also the ticking sound is twice as fast when turning to one side than the other, not sure if it's relevant.

What could be the problems on both the temp indicator and turn signals?


thanks
 
If the ticking sounds are different from left to right, it could be that a bulb has failed.

There may be a problem with the fuse box, sometimes they can fill with water...

Otherwise it could be some bad earth connections on the body of the car, this can happen with old age...
 
I checked the fuse box and seems ok, no blown fuse, not sure about the E2 relay, can that relay be the problem if the hazard lights work or is it likely the switch? what other component can i check?

where do you check for earth connections for this?
 
Well, problem fixed, it seems.
I unplugged and plugged back the 2 connectors to either side of the hazard switch and luckily the turn signals work now, still though the right turn signal blinks twice as fast as the left turn one.

I'd like to try that with the temperature gauge problem, do i have to remove the whole panel to access that?

Thanks for the reply

Looks like there is a problem with water , i'll post some pictures,
Water came in from the left corner into some wiring and there is corrosion coming out of it, those go to different areas of the panel from what i can see.
 
Here are the pictures

Water came in from behind that wire box and corrosion is coming out of it below, what are these wires for? can the indicators problems be related to this?
