Morning gents, as title, think it's indicator stalk related. Could sometimes get them to work, now they have stopped. Clicking double fast like a bulb has gone but all bulbs ok and hazards work fine. Does the switch gear fail on these or could it be a loose wire? left hand work fine as does full beam.
Thanks in advance

I had exactly this with my 1991 Touring and it turned out to be a loose connector deep in the dash.

I swapped out the indicator switch without affecting the symptom and, with the clocks out, traced the wires to find another connector deeper into the dash wiring loom - reseating this some 3 years ago solved the problem and it has not returned.

Good luck.

The switch can fail, I had to swap mine.
