Yes the non-multiplexed ones never fail. The later ones have been a constant source of trouble for high mileage users, 6 replacements under warranty is not unknown. My own car needed 3 replacements, but the main problem was the switches falling apart with the indicators turning themselves on at random. The modified switch is a great improvement, the last one I replaced was about £150 I think. Get the part No and order it from Citroen its a lot cheaper. T.
