Indicator stuck on

Any electrical issues

Indicator stuck on

by vec 160 » Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:33 pm

Opened the car earlier and set the alarm off. Now the driver side indicators are permanently on(not flashing).
Have tried disconnecting the battery but it has made no difference.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong,

sounds like a stuck relay mate,open the fuse box under the steering
wheel and give them all a little tap with the ignition on.that might do
the trick.

sounds more like your alarm is still trying to give some sort of warning ...might need to re set the alarm arm it then disarm it

Indicator Relay is probably the first thing I'd check...

Pull it out (as shown in photo) and inspect the 3 pins for any abnormal signs...

Get hold of another Relay to Test for Relay failure...

As above this would be my first point of call... pretty basic circuit really, if its not the relay then start looking at the alarm...

Think I will have to look towards the alarm. Have relay out, indicator switch out and hazard warning switch out and the lights is still on

Eventually found that it was the alarm control unit. Took it out and everything was back to normal. Have put in another alarm control unit from the spare calibra i have(meant to be long term project) so that the alarm is working again
