Underneath the dash is the flasher unit. Something is more than likely buggered in there. It's just a little black cube thing. Easy enough/cheap enough to replace. Just head down to supercheap. Because it's a mechanical unit, they say u should only replace it with a mechanical unit, not an electric one. Utter bull**** it is, mines an electric one and works fine. So yeah - supercheap.

Did ya get it worked out in the end Mike? Another question for peoples on the topic of indicators. After replacing the steering wheel today, the indicators are no longer self-cancelling, and I can't figure out why. Any ideas?

Ogre - you need to adjust the lugs on the back of the boss that cancells the blinkers. They need to face the left side of the wheel i think from memory.

Use the indicator stalk as normal, and give the column a big thump. Worked 4 me.
