Front indicators

[DJD]

Had the car nearly 4 weeks now and have to say it is amazing, silly grin spending more with Shell than any beer establishment.

Have a small prob though, went over a bump yesterday and front left indicator stopped working i.e. not flashing, changed bulb still the same. Is there a connector from the bulb holder to the loom that may have seperated causing the prob.

Wait till you find out what vehicle the indicators were originally fitted to

You can not leave it like that, tell me more.

Something weird and wonderful no doubt, or just weird and not so wonderful!

Give it good whack, it'll work again

My esteemed colleague has given you a visual clue....

Okay, a tank of some description!

How do you whack it I can only just get in to get the bulb out.

There is an 'in-line' (2 pin) connector about 6 inches from the back of the indicator unit. It is not a particularly good connector and probably has corroded contacts anyway as it is also not waterproof.
Do all of the other indicators flash with the hazards on? If so then:-
If you unscrew the faulty lamp assembly you can connect it (via the connector I described) on the working side - thereby checking to see if the 'bulb holder' is OK, or internally damaged.

Fixed, just appers to have been a loose connection.
