Help, internittent indicators and wipers!

[Inkyskin]

Hey all, my indicators (Left, right AND 4 ways) is really intermittent, 1 in 10 times they work... Same goes for the wipers. Slow wont work, and wash/wipe works sometimes (Although the wash always works, the wipe doesn't) - yet med/fast works okay (so far).

When I press the 4 ways button it doesn't always work either. Is there a control box I need to look at?

Checked the fuses and they seem fine, any ideas whats gone wrong?

Hi,
Sounds like its your multi function switch, you can clean them with switch cleaner, or a replacement I think is somewhere in the region of £80.
quite a common problem.

Do you mean the stalk? If thats the case would that affect the 4 ways button on the console too?

I got my stalk changed at a main dealership, and it was £290.

So that's your worst case cost, assuming the switch is the problem.

Expect to pay £55 for a stalk.

It is easy to fit if you are handy

Update:

I took the cover off at the base of the stalk to have a quick peek, and after re attaching the cover, it all works fine!

Wierd. The only thing it does now is stop indicating if the wheel is turned more then 360 degrees, but the carries on when it returns...

I think my car is drunk.
