Indicator gremlim

My front left indicator has stopped working when indicating left (but not every time) but works fine with the hazards. Sometimes when I indicate it'll start working normally and half way through randomly stop so the others start flashing at double speed.

Anyone got Any suggestions?

Had a similar problem where the indicator relay just stopped clicking. Both signals would be affected the same way in my case. Try swapping the indicator relay under the steering column.

Sounds like the column switch to me. I had the same problem and a replacement switch cured it.

Is it always the same indicator lamp that stops?

If so check the earth and lamp holder are clean and secure. And try a new lamp.

Thanks, will give the relay and switch a try. Yeah only the front left is affected, every one else is fine. Bulbs fine. Surely if the holder or earth is dodgy then it would be work with the hazards?

The fact that the hazard lights all work says the wiring and bulbs are good so the fault is most likely with the column switch.
