Indicator Light Stays On

[niran]

hey everyone

just have a quick question..a few days ago while i was driving i realised my indicator lights when i flick them on they seem to stay on and don’t acutally indicate on and off. I’ve read a few posts on here and done a search most people seem to have a problem with the indicator light staying on when they turn the head light on.

In my case the headlights don’t affect it so it’s not a ground/shorting out problem. I listened and failed to hear that clicking noise come from under my dash.. So i pulled my relay out, before i go buy one would anyone be able to confirm with me that it is the relay that has died?

Also where would be the best place to buy/find one? i was thinking Nissan themselves?

Thanks, Ni

hey man soz as in when i flick it on, it stays on so i guess its not cancelling as it just stays on solid as if it was like parker lights when you flick the switch..

Awesome i will try repco first

Cancelling means that when the steering wheel centres, it turns the indicators off.

If your indicators don't "flash" then that will be the flasher unit.

It could also mean that you have an indicator globe out. Check your side repeaters, and front and rear. Most flasher units detect the loss of current draw and either slow right down or stop flashing alltogether

I've found most will speed up the flashing due to the lack of current draw from the blown globe..
