Hi guys, as some of you may know i have recently been in a crash and since then my indicators have not been working. My car makes a fast ticking noise when i indicate but no lights flash on the inside or outside of the car. I would have instantly thought it would mean a new fuse but i have know idea which one it is, has anyone got a digram of the fuse box which shows which ones are indicator fuses????? or is there something else wrong with the car???

Search on here in the FAQ: Identify Your Car section for fuse list. There are 2 separate threads, one for multi-plex and one for pre-plex

The fast click is your car telling you there is a fault. When I had this problem I discovered one of the wires going to the bulb had perished so I cut the wire back and added a new length of wire with soldering iron

If one indicator is unplugged does this affect all the rest?

Not all, but it does make that side flash quickly to tell you there is a blown bulb.

it says to tell if you have multiplex or not look at your radio stalk. I take it the radio stalk with buttons on it is multiplex and the one without buttons on it is preplexed??

From looking at your project thread your car looks to me to be pre-plexed
