ive just finished putting a whole new interior and sound system including all wiring to speakers and when i got in the car to take it for a drive after my indicators wen't working. however they do work on the alarm could i have knocked something off? if the hazard switch is disturbed would that make any difference, need help asap as i cant drive it without them and my seats need testing, thanks

Had the same thing when I was installing a new head unit in mine. Put it all in went for a drive to and discovered no indicators. All I did was to pull the head unit out and put it back in making sure I wasn't trapping any wires behind the head unit. I didn't actually find any disconnected wires, but I think the head unit was pulling on a wire enough to break the connection. As for the hazards and the indicators I think they have seperate relays, although I could be wrong there! Best plan maybe to pull the head unit out a little at a time and check to see if the indicators work. If that fixes it just move the wires out the way from the back of the head unit. If not could be wires have come away from the indicator relay. Hope this helps a little!
