Hi, I have a 2003 Ulysse (New Model). Since I bought the car 6 months ago I have had problems with the front right indicator. At first it worked for a few weeks then stopped working. When it stops working the right indicator 'click' (relay?) operates at twice the speed. The rear bulb flashes quickly, the side repeater near the mirror flashes quickly but the front bulb does not flash.
Initially I changed the bulbs but I soon realised that this was not the problem. Having removed the indicator bulb holder (with considerable dexterity!) I started to bend the contacts on the outside of the bulb holder gently outwards using a small screwdriver. At first this would solve the problem for a few weeks or even a month but it has now got to the point where it only lasts a few minutes or hours.
I have checked ebay but can only find bulb holders for 807's and C8's. These appear to be different - although similar.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Do I just need to replace the bulb holder and if so, has anyone managed to get the part from a Fiat dealer? Several posters on other forums say that Fiat dealers have told them that they can only replace the whole headlight unit at a cost of ££££'s.
Thanks!
