Ok - Onwned the car for just over a week now - and found my first little electrical gremlin.....

All indicators work fine - nearside and offside. Hazards only work offside - very fast without ignition, normal speed with ignition turned on. Assume there is a connection or mini circuit board I should wiggle and check somewhere?

Anyone any ideas or experience ?
THanks

Helped Sami666 with a Chimaera with a similar fault. They are all very similar, but the hazards and indicators were separately wired on separate circuits. As Martin said check the earths and the connectors (was the fault on Sams car) that join the front of the car to the main loom. It is not impossible that it might be also related to the pod or the switch.

Hazards and immobiliser flash is the same cicuit, I had the opposite, no hazards but right hand side permanently on! Mine fixed after I pulled the hazard/immobiliser fuse, cant remember off hand which one, left it out for a while then replaced. All went back to normal. Maybe worth a try.

Not all the problems, but getting there!

The connectors aren't waterproof, we spent a while trying to figure it out. Followed the cables back and every connector was corroded and a problem.
