ianmayco68 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi all , this is on a 110 200tdi , right I know there's loads out there as they cause loads of grief have had a look and read some threads but none that I can find is specific to my problem . I think I know what the problem is but would like everyone's input to see if I'm heading in the rite direction before spending the cash. So , indicators work intermittently but hazards work fine all the time , if I'm driving along and indicate to turn left sometimes they work other times they won't work and sometimes there's a delay then they work and the same turning right , but it seems to happen more when turning left . Then they'll work fine for a while then they start playing up again , and still the hazards will work fine . I have got LED lights fitted with a RDX relay from bolt on bits the loom is new , hazard switch is new and so is the steering column stalks which were Lucas . I think the problem is the steering column stalks I replaced them all for new Lucas parts when I rebuilt here and I think the quality is #### , the fog light stalk went when at the MOT station , the head light one takes 3 pushes to get it to stay on and I think the indicator stalk is the cause of the problem with my flashers , what does everyone else think ? Is there a way to open the casing up on these switches to repair the insides ? And if this can't be done is there a better alternative out there to purchase if it is the stalk ? Any help gratefully received cheers Ian . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Probably the signal switch or the connector of the switches to the loom. If you are 100% LEDs, you need to change the wiring of the dash indicator as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I've done the TD5 clock and warning panel upgrade when the stalk works they flash okay , do you know if you can open the casing on the stalks up to see inside ?

Ex Member Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Probably, but if they are new, then return them for warranty. If multiple things are not working, I would first suspect the connector. Edited February 24, 2018 by Red90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Will check the multiplug tomorrow the main looms new as well but that seemed fine when I last had the dash apart , they were brought about 2 years ago but have only had 12 months use so can't return them unfortunately .

western Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Worth working through this before condeming any parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Did read that western but it didn't quite compute thought that as the hazards were working fine all the time the switch was okay , being up at 4.30 to go to work haddles the brain more as you get older , but reading it again if I'm correct the main supply for the indicators goes through the hazard switch to the indicator stalk to work the indicators , so if this part of the hazard switch isn't working correctly all the time this could cause my intermitant fault with the stalk not turning the indicators on . Phew . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
