Ive got really big problems with my indocators in my MK3 Fez.
When i indicate left - it works perfectly, but when i indicate right, it doesnt always work and does that double time ticking noise like a light is out. But when i checked - none of them are working...?
Ive changed the relay box (or whatever you call it) and ive changed all the bulbs on the right hand side - what else could it be???!!!?

Is the problem that it goes on, then goes off, then goes on, then goes off? Typical Bird No clue
Change the stalk IMO Probably not making the right connections internally

Thats actually quite quick for a bloke!!!! Im impressed...
But funnily enough - thats not the problem - but now youve made me aware, ill keep an eye out for that on off problem just in case!
No, sometimes it works properly and it works fine. Then when i indicate right the next time, it might do that thing i said and not work at all.
Basically it just works when it wants and doesnt work when it feels like as well!!!
Its driving me crazy and i really need to stop using my hazards to turn right! (cos they work perfectly by the way)!??!!

Only thing i can suggest is trying a new indicator stalk.
I had this on mine once, and it turned out to be dirty contacts in the switch.
A change cured it for me. Just a thought.....

Because making some sort of indication rather than just turning and having someone go into the side of me is better than nothing! Duh brain!!!

Stick your arm out the window to turn right.
And I stand by my comment about indicator stalk needing replacing. Hazards IIRC have a different relay so thats why they still work
HTH

Ah ha - now im getting somewhere with someone who KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!!
Yeah i would stick my arm out the window but that means driving around with the window down all the time... Im not one for that if its cold or raining - even if i do have a heater, id rather do my hazard thing!
So just need a new indicator stalk then...?

When you last saw someone sitting in the road with their hazards on, did you think to stop as they might be turning right, or did you carry on because you thought they had broken down?

You may want to check the highcode too, you shouldnt use hazards when moving unless you are being towed
