Indicator problem, not bulb or fuse?

Khranok · Jul 10, 2012

Noobish question but my front right indicator went out today, the rest flash quickly as if the bulb had gone. I changed the bulb and its still got the issue and I am guessing its not the fuse or the rear and side repeater ones would not work either.

Tried the hazards and all flash normally apart from the front right indicator.

Can you test the earth at the front RHS with a new working bulb and a couple of long test leads.
One lead from the test bulb to the +ve feed from the indicator RHS (probably means taking the front RHS indicator unit out to get to that lead).
Second lead from the test bulb to a good earth, or the battery -ve, whatever is easiest.

The LHS indicators are good at this moment ??? - to try to eliminate the flasher unit

take one of the screws out and clean the metal were the screw comes out and replace with a new slightly bigger self tapper should work then
