Random Indicator Problem

Trippy82 · 04-23-2007, 02:14 PM

Hi All, I need a little help.

I've had my A3 (52 1.9 tdi) for about a year now and apart from a few small user errors i've had no problems untill now!

The indicators are completely messed up - i know the bulbs are ok and the hazzards work fine but when I'm driving and try to indicate I either get nothing or it looks like i'm attemping morse code (with varying and very random speeds) for a few seconds then nothing! But to add to this 99% of the time when i'm not on the move they work ok.

Does anyone have any ideas on this before i let Audi or someone extract a huge amount of money from me!

Cheers - any suggestions extremly welcome!

The indicator relay is also the hazard switch,replace it they stick,failing that its the indicator switch.

Just had similar problem with my S3.The indicator relay is part of the hazard switch in the middle of the dash. Its held in by a plastic/metal tab on each side.Replacement cured the fault (£34 from Audi)
Good luck
