Default Indicator Problem

OK, out earlier in the car and coming to a round about my indicator was on and then just sudderenly stopped. I took the roundabout and pulled over, tried left and right not working, put hazards on and the hazard light just stayed on but didnt flick on and off. put lights on, ok they still work fine. have replaced fuse and still doing it on and off, sometimes fine and odd occasion it will do it, never seen this before, has anyone else? what else could it be?

Any advise welcome!

CheeRS

What is the likely cause for it's failure Is it likely this is the problem? And would the symptoms be it working and not working?
