jakehrd Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hi all, just picked up my first z this weekend and I love it already. It was from a guy who uses this forum, not sure on his user name! It's not a bad car at all, mechanically she's pretty sweet but the bodywork needs attention. Luckily I own a company that specialises in composite work and custom paint so I'm feeling something different for this one! It has a few niggles but it is a project, it squeaks occasionally from the front n/s suspension and the indicators stopped working today randomly. Hoping it's a loose connection, but it may be a stalk or sonething, who knows! Anyway, hoping to learn more about the 300, as I've always liked them and finally got myself one! Thanks guys Quote

JeffTT Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 indicators stopped working today randomly. Hoping it's a loose connection, but it may be a stalk or something Not an uncommon issue, often the hazard switch is the culprit, if it is not fully back in the off position it locks out the normal indicators, this is also often made worse by the fixings behind the pod that the hazard switch is fitted to giving rise to the very problem. Try flicking the hazard switch on / off and be sure it comes back towards you, then try the normal indicator, sometimes its easier to have the ignition on and the turn signal on either left or right and then flick pull back on the hazard switch to see if the normal indicators then work, failing that of course it could be the fuse but not likely especially if the problem occurred after the hazard switch was used or messed with.

Jeff it sounds like that could be about right. had to pull over today and put the hazards on. after switching them off and stopping for a while, the indicators seemed to work! Quote
