Nearside indicator problem?

[huzzy]

My front drivers side indicator won't light up. There is nothing wrong with the bulb or the fuse as I have swapped them over and they are fine.

When I am in the car and indicating right the 'ticker' and 'blinker' goes twice as fast?

What could the problem be?

NOT A RELAY PROBLEM IS IT MATE

hi mate,
thats the classic sign that you have a bulb out.are you sure its the front bulb if you swapped them over and its still blinking fast check your other bulbs.good luck mate.mark

Not sure if it's the relay I'll have a check tomorrow.

Definately not the bulb that's knackered as I put it in the offside indicator and it was fine in there.

All abit odd to me.

6 years of Scooby ownership and this is the first thing I've had go tits up!

When it blinks twice as fast thats it telling you the bulb is fooked,

bad earth or dirty connection

I've still got the problem. I swapped over the relay and bulb and still nothing. I disconnected and reconnected the battery and tried it and it worked once!

It doesn't work on hazards or when locking or opening the car either.

I have even taken the headlight out and had a look at all connections, all seems fine there.

Looks like you'll need to take it to a auto electrician, May be a problem with the relay,

Have you checked the wires to the indicator and that there is actually power reaching the lamp (and also a continuity back to the negative terminal)?

That's all a little bit above me i'm afraid. It's off to Subaru next month anyway so I'll get them to have a look.

Cheers for the replys though Gents.
