98 Vectra 1.8 16v full electric pack - Ritz-dog
Hello again, my indicators have stopped working and I have been told that the relay for these is part of the hazard light switch and so I'll have to buy a new switch. Can anyone confirm this or give me some other way of testing to find the fault?

Thanks in advance

There is no dedicated " indicator/hazard relay on these.There are 2 relays in the fuse box (usually yellow)that are timed to flash by the muti-function timer unit (slides into side of fuse box) which is also the timer for the hrw and wiper delay circuits.Do the hazard lights work & have you checked the fuses?Als try moving hazard switch in/out just in case there are dirty contacts.

Sorted! The relay is built into the Hazardlight switch (cost cutting I guess). Replaced entire switch for just shy of £16 and evrything is hunky dorry again. Thank you Haynes Manual
