Shug Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Its usually a symptom of a knackered bulb or connection. Are all indicators working properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMD Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 hi m8, defo sounds like a bulb gone; if not, mine is playing silly bu__ers too; when i switch to full beam, none of my indicators work, until i turn off ignition and restart with lights on dip; the fault has been blamed on a faulty stalk/switch, so i've a replacement one coming; just another poss reason m8...

I would guess at an '86 model year onwards car with side repeaters missing if all working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantapaperman Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) sorry for the delay guys..working away just got back.. all the flashers are working its a 83 gte so no repeaters..i think its just a knackered relay cos if i put it in the astra, it flashes fast aswell.. will i do any harm using a astra one then? its same pins and works a treat..but i dont want to come out one morning to a smoldering wreck Edited May 27, 2011 by mantapaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
