Indicators not working
Discussion
The switches used are similar to this one ...

... and there are 2 (one for left, one for right) and are reasonably easy to access and it'll be obvious if a lever is broken off the switch.
The set-up on the Cerbera means that a different switch does each side so it's seems strange that both sides should fail together though.
I'd suspect it's unlikely to be the switches.
If you push the indicator stalk up / down while the car is off you should be able to hear a very defnite click when the stalk pushes the microswitch.
If you hear this click both ways it's probably not a switch and is more likely to be a damaged wire / connection going between the box and the switch.

Not much help but my indicators stopped working for no reason I could find (the wipers were also affected) and later cured themselves so if you find the cause I'd be interested
I get that too, just very infrequently so I often forget about it. I found hitting the hazards "reset" the indicators and everything starts to work again as usual.One day i'll get round to not resetting them and actually get the meter on the cables to see what's going on.
