FIAT DOBLO 1.2 MULTIJET, 2005, 108,000 miles
Got a problem with my flashing indicators. Well the nearside ones anyway! The offside flashers work fine, but when I operate the nearside ones the dashboard indicator flashers twice as fast normal. On inspection, the 3 lights concerned, i.e. front and rear indicators plus the side indicator, are only flashing intermittently, and then very dimly.
What I've done is this: renewed all 3 bulbs, cleaned the electrical contacts as best I could and removed any moisture that was present. This appeared to work......for about 15 seconds at least, then back to the above!
I'm now working on the assumption that it could be the relay/flasher unit. My questions are:
a) How many relays/flasher units are there? I'm guessing only one as it seems to operate ok when the offside flashers are working.
b) What is the location of the relay/flasher? There are 5 relays on the internal fuse box, but removal of these makes no difference, as I can still hear the clicking noise when the nearside flashers are operating.
c) Are there any other reasons to consider that might have caused the flashers to go faulty?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance that you are able to give!
