Hi,

All of the right hand side indicators have gone off... I have tried fuses and changing bulbs but none of that does anything.

The Merc is a 280ge Left Hand drive if thats anyhelp

Many thanks

Re: Right hand side indicators gone off...Help

try using the hazards - if they work ok i reckon its likely to be the combination switch - if so, try squirting some switch cleaner in the gap where it moves, has got me out of trouble twice. dont use till switch cleaner dry though!

if they dont work suspect the relay or the wiring to that side - have you been doing any repair work in the vicinity?

Hi,

I did what you said and tried the hazards and they work fine,I've replaced the Relay with 2 different ones(out of 2 other G's) and that still didn't work.

No we haven't done any work on it for a loooooooooongggggggg time lol.

I shall try the switch cleaner and see what that does if :)

Thanks alot
Joe

The wiring to the hazard switch, or the hazard switch, can cause the same problems.
