Hey guys, i've searched the forums and the net but unfortunately haven't found the answer to my problem.

While driving my indicators sometimes turn themselves off. While at a traffic light for example turning right i would have the indicator on and it would blink on the dash and outside of the car as usual but after a while suddenly turn off and the indicator stalk staying where it is, not returning to the neutral position in between (Left and Right).

And sometimes while driving i would go to indicate and click it to change lane right and i would get nothing (no blink on dash or signal outside of the car) and the same problem with clicking it to turn left(Push stalk up), but wait a few seconds in the neutral indicator stalk position(the middle) and then try it would work?

I have only had the car for a few months and this never used to happen before, i had no clue what it could be and i am hoping one of you would be able to tell me what's going on

Anyone have a clue what's happening here or a solution? thanks.gif

I'll take it apart when I have time but i don't really think the stalk is the problem because like I said this never used to happen and the stalk works perfectly fine, could it be a relay or something?

sounds like it is a dodgy contact in the stalk. you could either try pulling the stalk apart, or just trying to find a new one from someone wrecking a car

Just confirmed it's not the stalk, i was driving the car for about 200km today and when it happened even the Hazard button pressed in did not work on the lights?

Anyone else have an idea of what it could be?? It's pretty annoying when this car is on the road nearly every day and driven long distances :(

check the plug on the back of the hazard switch is plugged in correctly. if the dash surround has been out in the past it might not have been plugged back in properly and i know that in some cars if that plug is undone the indicators won't work at all.

Hey thanks for the help mad082, ended up taking it to my mechanic in the city. Turns out to be the flasher unit, went and picked up a new one from Main North Nissan for $52.30 and replaced it, works fine now :)

Problem solved for any of those who are having a similar problem :)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?

      I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.

      And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.

      From watching the 6 hour, it seems they've really got the class A2 Ford Mustang sorted, as it was cutting it up in lap times with he X1 cars, which are all those late model turbo BMWs. I have no real idea about either of them, but watching what was happening at the 6Hour, it made the Mustang which is meant to be in a slower class look very impressive.

      Also Mark, perfect timing for you to offer Fab9 to open an Aus branch for them, where you'll setup all the contracts that basically you're just the paperman, everything goes through Aus for their gear, and you can buy a piece of paper off of them once every 3 months that's really expensive. Tariffs aren't paid on exports after all. And for it, you'll just take 10% cut for your name on the papers. Oh, and a free NC intake setup and air box...
