Renault Megane - Indicators and hazards not working?

Question

Hi,

I have a 1999 renault megane 1.4 RT. Suddenly all of the indicators and the hazard lights have stopped working.

Also, when I use the remote central locking, the indicators do not flash.

When I try to use the indicators or hazards, I am getting the "quick clicking" sound normally heard when a bulb is about to go - however the indicator arrow lights on the dash are not working either.

I've checked some of the bulbs and they seem fine. I doubt its the fuses because the manual says the indicators are on the same fuse as the side lights - and all of the other lights (side, dipped, full, fog, reverse, brakes) are working fine.

Would anyone have an idea on this? If it's not too serious I don't mind going to a breakers yard, getting the part and fixing it myself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

flasher unit has packed up, easy fix replace with a new unit... where to find it is another matter, you're have to refer to the manual

Answer 3

many flasher relays are now built into the hazard switch thus changing the hazard switch will rectify your problem

Answer 4

relay easy fix.

Answer 5

That's very odd: The 'fast clicking' of the indicator relay signifies a blown bulb, but the hazard relay should click at the normal rate, it's not sensitive to resistance. I would say that either all six indicator bulbs have gone (ridiculously unlikely) or the hazard relay is at fault.

Answer 6

It sounds like the indicator unit has failed. i would suspect that it must have been a part made by BMW, given the number of them i have seen without working indicators ;)
