2008 Focus - no indicators on near side

[theaxe]

Hi chaps, any ideas on this one? The indicators on the near-side of my wife's focus aren't working. No lights, no relay sound. The hazards work as normal as do the indicators on the off-side.

I'm guessing it's not a fuse but maybe a relay?

I had something similar on my c max turned out the earth had corroded, which is inside the wheel arch.

Interesting, thanks! It turns out that the fault is intermittent (seems to get better as it gets warmer) so I'll look into it.

Just in case someone googles this problem in the future, here's what happened.

I paid Ford £100+ to replace the indicator stalk. This made no difference at all.
That evening I flipped down the connector box in the passenger footwell and noticed that one of the locks on one of the plugs wasn't fully engaged. I pushed it in and locked it, all is well now.

Annoying to waste £100+ but at least it's sorted.
