#1: Indicator randomly coming on ? Author: KyleHaich, Location: Airdrie, Scotland.Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 7:11 pm ---- As title, when I'm driving the right indicator comes on completely randomly, also does it occasionally when first starting the car in the morning etc.
If I try to indicate left while it's indicating right - both flash at the same time as if I have my hazards on, anyone have any ideas?

Take it you haven't done a search for indicator problems before starting the thread.

Most likely find plenty of metal swarf inside shorting the stalk contacts.
If your really unlucky it will be the BSI relays & they aint easy to replace.
