Hi
My front off side indicator has stopped working and its not the bulb that has blown. I have tried working bulbs and the dont work. I have had a multimeter across the 2 tabs and the voltage is there and is going up and down as it should. I have held the bulb in and moved it around the holder, pressing it in, twisting it and there is nothing there. This is really strange as the bulb is definatly touching the tabs but still not lighting.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I had a simular problem, I traced it to the pull apart conector behind the bumper/ back of the indicator. It is made using pins, male and female parts if you like. On mine the pins were not making suficient contact, I fixed it by stuffing some foil in the female bit, been fine ever since
You have to take the bumper off though
