Hi,
My indicators have decided to no longer work.
Chasing an recommended shop, or the name of the Aus Subie member who does home calls.

So let's go the remote diagnostic route......
what model??
My 84 Brumby suddenly had no indicators at all no glow, no blink - water got into blink unit from leaky windscreen and zzzt - new one fixed it.
If you have a towbar with a plug, check it, check your fuses, check each bulb works by remove and test on battery and come back......

Also common is the hazard switch playing up. Give it a wiggle and click it on and off a few times.

Thanks Paul.
Expect a call on Tuesday, I have plans I wish to discuss.
Also boys, 97 Forester. About a week ago the indicator stopped indicating and just displayed a solid light, no flashing. Then suddenly id stopped working all together. The globes are fine as the immobiliser still makes the lights flash, I'm guessing i have a loose wire in the stalk.

Oh well.
Good for Dave (good position to be in!), bad for RR - sounds like you'll be well sorted presently.

Unlikely to be imobiliser. Sounds like a flasher relay fault to me. Try the hazard lights and see if the indicators flash with them. I forget if the indicator flasher relay is the same as the hazard flasher relay on that model.
