where is it??

attached to the underside of the steering wheel column.
Take off the steering wheel,
then take off the trim and shroud under the column.
You'll see the black relay underneath then not far from the indicator stalk itself

The indicator 'relay' doesn't know which way you are indicating, so if it works properly for one direction and not the other, the fault is not there!
Either a bulb is out, or there is a resistance somewhere in RH indicator wiring. Put the hazards on, and compare brightness of the bulbs.
The problem is most likely with the front indicator, but could also be the rear light cluster lamp holder assembly (including the relevant pin on its socket), the hazard switch, or the column indicator switch.

I've had problems with my ns indicator when I've changed bulbs etc in the rear panel. If I don't get it quite right, the ns indicator doesn't work until i twist the securing lock again on the bulb holder panel.

You need to tighten up the buckets a bit on the rear lamp sockets.hennabm wrote:I've had problems with my ns indicator when I've changed bulbs etc in the rear panel. If I don't get it quite right, the ns indicator doesn't work until i twist the securing lock again on the bulb holder panel.
