Rushjob Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Are your brake lights working? Same fuse as indicators, hazards are on a different fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 you can get new sealed units...but as you say they come at a price. All the more fun of owning a Landy tho.......Although not so fun with a leaky sunroof seal lol........ ice cold showers in the morning when going round the corners after heavy rain lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlewis Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Had this problem on a car once that the hazards worked but no indicators asked at dealership they said its your indicator switch so I took it off and tried it on another car worked ok. Then went to see old friend who trained as a mechanic then took over his fathers car assys shop he gave it some thought then asked me if the car had tow hitch to which I said yes it has, he threw me a new flasher relay saying try this, bet you got heavy duty relay and 2 bulbs not enough power flowing to make it work but under full load of hazard 4 bulbs it is, he was right so kept heavy duty relay for when I towed a trailer and the standard relay in normal use.
