My indicators on my Griff 500 went all due-west last night on my way home from work. They come on but don't flash on and off. I think it could be the the indicator relay but am not quite sure.
Has anyone had this problem before and if so where is the relay situated, is it with the fueses in the footwell area?
Anyones help would be greatfull.
Also I would like to know how to upload a pic of my car form Fotango
Thanks

Worked every time. R...

On my 99 the indicator module is just behind the radio area and can be removed from inside the glove box. There are two, one that does the "blinking" and one for the hazards. Hope this helps.

If both left & right indicators are working incorrectly then I would think it was the flasher unit.
