Hi all.  Drove the ute for the first time in two weeks and the indicators have stopped flashing. The lights simply come on and stay on until the stalk resets. The hazard lights work fine and all lights work.  So, given I have limited knowledge in this area, before I go pulling things apart, can I get a best guess as to what the likely issue is.  I'm assuming the flasher (if it's separate to the hazard lights flasher) or the fuse is the issue but how would I know.  Thanks in advance.  Cheers Ron

It needs a new flasher relay. It is a separate unit to the hazard flasher relay.

 

If it was a fuse, the blinkers wouldn't light up.

Probably won't surprise anyone but I now recall the auto elec. putting a new can in (Narva) when I had him go over all the wiring.  That was just over 2 years ago.  Today I finally found the original can which is a bit beat up, but swapped it over and all working fine.  Thanks again gents.  Cheers Ron
