406 indicator relay

[jimfoz]

Hi there
Can anyone point me in the direction of where this is situated in the dash? I have an issue where the left hand indicators are not working - no clicking from the relay. Right hand ones operate as normal.

Usually the relay is in the feed to the switch which then goes left or right, so this would point to switch fault, wiring or both bulbs blown, is there a hazard switch? These add to the fun.

If I remember rightly the 406 has two indicator relays mounted above the battery under the driver's wing. One for left, the other for right.

That's insane, but unique. Don't suppose they have a separate pump for each screenwash jet.

No pump - they are vacuum operated!

Hi thanks for this - I should have known they would be in the RH wing. Yes, there seems to be two - one for the left doesn't click. I will start here and then check switch

Nice. Dual brake light switches?

Just the one, sadly, and that failed on me recently. I had someone tailgating me, seemingly desperate to get by. I suddenly had to brake and he very nearly had a look inside the boot. I wondered why he backed off so far until I realised the switch had given up.
