I noticed the right arrow on the dashboard was lit up on my way home and when i got out all 3 side repeater were on.

They did not go off when i removed the key.

I took out the relays under the dash they stayed on.

I removed the fuse at the side of the dash they stayed on.

I removed the plug off the back off the hazard swith they stayed on.

I got the hump and took all the bulbs out, now they are off.

I didnt replace the front indicator properly and it feel out on the motorway the next day and i drove over it.

Now im stuck with a car with 1 no indicator and 2 an indicator fault i dunno where to begin with, is it the indicator stalk? the relay? what could cause it to do this???

It could be to do with the alarm/central locking.

Water damage to the convenience system if the indicator relay still clicks when that side is selected.

seriously are you joking?? because when i tried getting in the car the central locking didnt work till the 4th turn of the key (fob dead) and its alays playing up only unlocking 3 of the 4 doors sometimes not opening them at all properly.

More like a column stalk problem then. Disconnect the inconvenience unit and see if the indicators work.

Box under passenger front seat commonly known as ccm and lots of other nasty names.

The inconvenience unit is one of the names I give to the “central convenience” unit under the floor on the passenger’s side as it is awkward to get at. I also call it the incontinence unit as it gets wet a lot, the incompetence unit as it goes wrong for no good reason or the connivance unit when it goes wrong just to annoy you. It controls the central locking and alarm, windows.
