in the steering wheel shroud.

remove the steering wheel (22mm socket)
remove the cover (4 screws)
and you will see it.

Right.. so what does it mean if you get the right indicator working and a buzzing/crackling sound on the left. Hazards work, thinking its the flasher unit, but really can't be assed changing it!!

If its no workly on all indicators, Its most possibly the flasher relay ( Havent managed to find the flasher unit as on most cars, it's a round cylinder about the size of a film cannister)

I don't know what happened with mine.. Got in the car one day after ziptie-ing the relay to the plug, and it all seems happy now. I have a spare plug.. but this didn't fix it either.
