Corsa Indicator problems!!!

[stu056]

I have a 2001 corsa 1.2, every now and then all four indicators light up, they don't blink they just light up. It can be very intermittant, sometimes it happens quite often, every ten seconds or so for about five seconds, then other times it hardly happens at all??? I thought it may be a bad earth on one of light units but have had a look and can't really find anything, plus its intermittant, would a bad earth make the fault constant?? it happens when the car is stood still, not just when moving so don't think its from going over bumps, i.e. a loose connection bouncing about, I haven't noticed if it does it with just ignition on, seems to do it just when car is running.

Any help would be really appreciated as it is really baffling me.
Thanks
Stu

Have you thought of checking the flasher relay; try substituting another.

Of course, with an intermittent fault it may be a while before it shows up again (or doesn't).

quite a few problems with corsas indicator relays I had one which flashed irregularly. that was cured by changing the relay it can be found in the fuse box under the bonnet on the passenger side
