One indicator stopped working...

[benny3008]

The passenger side front indicator on my Cinquecento '98 has stopped working, i've checked the relevant fuse plus the hazard warning light fuse, i've checked the bulb and even changed it for a new one, i've taken the flasher unit out and sprayed WD40 on to it and put it back in but still the indicator will not work which is making the other two indicators flash quicker. Anyone got any idea what to do next. The indicator doesn't work with the hazards either. please someone help.

The reverse light don't work properly either if that's of any use, when you put the car into reverse they come on but go off again as soon as you release the pressure from the gearstick.

points to a bad earth or poor contact because of corrosion
..reverse lights sound like a different issue i.e reverse switch

havnt you a basic curcuit tester to see where its drops the current ?

[benny3008]

I know someone with a multimeter if that's the same thing. :-/

[benny3008]

where would the indicator be earthed?

[benny3008]

The horn doesn't work either if it makes any difference?

got a jem of vehicle there....if it has that many issues it could come back to the fusebox...poor connection/corrosion etc

[chas2008]

need to check the feed with the multimeter at the light & at the fuse terminal to see if either is live..

Got indicator sorted now thanx, sparayed a bit of WD40 into connector to bulb holder and base of bulb holder. :-) as for the other bits, they'll have to wait until it gets closer to MOT time. :-/
