Any clues where to start with sorting this out ....

All indicators are flashing ... all of the time ... as if the hazards are on !!
This is with the ignition on or off.
The car starts and runs absolutely fine.
Removing the flasher relay stops things but obviously means no indicators for driving.

With the flasher relay removed the indicators operate fine when setting / unsetting the alarm.

Haven't swapped the flasher relay yet as I'm still trying to discover what it's from.
Then I can get one from a factor today and not have to wait until it rains again curse

Any clues any one?

I had something slightly different over the weekend, the indicators would start flashing, ignition on or off, but it was the immobiliser that was responsible. Putting on the hazards would cause them to stay on permanently, and you could hear relays at both ends of the car switching. I tried resetting the immobiliser by disconnecting the battery and it didn't seem to work, but five minutes later they stopped and haven't misbehaved since (that's jinxed it!)

It is official .... I am a complete and utter muppet!

Just found out that the car's got hazard warning lights and also that they work banghead
One gentle press of the end of the indicator stalk and everything's back to normal.

Had the car for over a year and it's still disgorging its secrets.

Great thing about the Cerbera where nothing is standard, expect more surprises....

Anyway, with this one you have saved my day! biggrin
