Faulty indicator but the bulb is fine.

Hey guys/Gals

Ive got a problem come up with the nearside front indicator.
The bulb is all in order however its not well 'indicating' there has been no fault come up on the car.
I am kinda stumped as to what it could be, i've checked the fittings though.

Thanks

Chris

have you checked the multiplug on the rear of the light.

Could be faulty switch contacts.

i had the same problem, its dirty contacts get a tissue put some white spirit on it and clean the contacts in the bulb holder, mine worked fine after that

Could be faulty switch contacts.

switch contacts would cause left or right not an individual light .

Yup,
As above It was a scewy connection.
Took the cluster out (well tried to anyone know how to remove the cluster wiring loom?) I put the bulb holder back in and it just worked again :P

I've had this a couple of times. Each time I removed the bulb, cleaned the contact surfaces, then gently bent the contact tags just slightly to make them press more tightly onto the bulb contacts and refitted the bulb.

Got the wiring loom out, lifted the top clip up with a screwdriver and it un clipped nicely.
