    weirdest thing - both right and left just stopped working - hazards work fine though. general thoughts - i was going to start at the fuse box and work backwards towards the indicator switch on the column -

    The hazard and turns don't share the same fuse; start there.

    Common fault in this series derives from the power lead to the indicators from the hazard switch - start at this latter end by wiggling

    (I learnt this from several previous threads)

    Happened to me before but if I move the emergency switch a little bit while trying to signal, then it works, then I found out that I have to this every time I signal so I finally changed my hazard switch and all is good now.

    I had turn signal trouble a couple of months ago. ( there is a thread on here about it).
    After checking fuse, relay, bulb, harzard switch etc etc I found that the wiring harness under the steering wheel looked a little loose.
    Snapped it tight and voila!!, All was good!
    Wish I had checke here first but it just looked like a hot mess under there with all the wires hanging so I was afraid to get into it.

    I had the same issues a few years ago. It was the hazard switch. I cleaned all the spade connections at the switch and have had no issues since.

    I had the same problem and it was the hazard switch. Easy to replace. Good luck

    FerrariChaters do it again. Yes the hazard switch is the culprit! I will try to clean it first and see if it comes back to life! Thanks everyone
