Vauxhall Nova Indicator Problem

it sounds like you have a faulty hazard switch. They aren't expensive and you can always ask if you can 'try before you buy'.

Cheers :)

Will give that a go..... if you dont mind me asking probably stupid questions from a newbie......

1) As the hazards seem to be working fine, how would it affect the indicators?

2) Whats the best place to get parts and stuff from.?

Thanks again

These switches were prone to failure causing the indicators to not work. They obviously share circuitry so I presume there is a short somewhere. Fiddling with the switch sometimes cured it for a while.

This sort of part is best from a Vauxhall Dealer although I would shop around for service items and other repair items. Most people prefer genuine parts and they are more likely to fit/last but they can be expensive. Vauxhall have improved there pricing a lot recently and service parts are very competitive now.

Thanks for all your help Alan.... Will give it a go :)

Give the hazard-switch a good few switchings first - you may find the problem goes away. The hazard-switch is something thats operated relatively infrequently and the contacts tend to get a bit corroded - some vigorous switching-on-and-off of the hazards rubs the corrosion off the switch contacts and the indicators then work again.

This used to happen every few months on my old Sierra.

Hi Alan,

Just wanted to say a big thank you :) Managed to get a replacement Hazard switch and now the indicators are working perfectly :)

Cheers
