Fuse? Bulbs? Faulty switch. If they all don't work I would suspect a fuse or the main switch.

is the battery charged, if so then you may find that the relay has gone, best way to check this is to get a voltmetre to check if any power is going to the relay, if it is then, more than likely you will need a new one.

hope this helps

It must be the relay.If you had no relay the indicators would not flash
They would just stay on or off.

Nope theres no indicator relay... its all built in the regulator assy Wink

(Finned metal box under the LH rear side panel)

Is battery charged and dash lights up, horn works etc?? If yes then could be... if other things dont work as well, but battery and fuse is ok, older zips 2000-2004 had a habit of the cables under the floor boards breaking...

Sounds like a regulator failure then!

Take the panel off and stick a multimeter onto the black/blue wire with ignition on and it should be a pulsing 12v supply.... if not its dead. Wink

So there is no relay but it is built in.So there is a relay.
Just messing with you.
Good call on it.

Nope no relay at all... look at the diagram and see where the feed comes from.. is there a relay shown even internally?? Nope...

The system works by always providing a 12v pulsed feed, but not just when the indicators are on, its there all the time, the indicator switch then feeds it when needed to the lights...

...where as a relay only pulses its 12v feed when needed.

But i get what ya saying! Laughing

Check the voltage on the Black/blue wire... if thats ok chances are its a dead switch.
