Switch the indicator stalk on. Is it the indicator relay or something more? if anyone
Can help with some info it'll b much
Appreciated thanks Ben
From your description it sounds like the relay has shorted out. Could also be your flasher that is shorting out though causing it to malfunction.
Cheers mate so it's either the indicator relay or flasher. By flasher do
You mean the indicator symbol flasher on the instrument cluster or one
of actual indicators
Sorry for my bad English. I mean the flasher lever switch. The one on the steering column. The contacts in them go bad after years of use. Maybe something shorts out in there! I had a problem similar to this but the smoke was coming from the steering column.
Sound mate thanks for your help. I know now
What steps to take to get this sorted.
For starters I would try changing the relay cause that is most likely to be faulty. If you can't short a genuine vw one, General Motors makes the same flasher relay (I know cause there is one on my car) . If I remember correctly the vw original number is 21. If that doesn't short the problem then it's either the lever or a shortcut somewhere in the wiring that you will have to find.
Thanks for the help it was the relay indicators and hazard all
Work now
Cheers
