Indicators will not flash
SumpMagnet:
I usualy go for a step by step appraoch with wiring...
Disconnect the indicators.,.... then connect just hte earth side. Apply 12V to theother indicator wire...see if it lights. Then reconnect...and go to the next step in the wiring to see where it tkaes power from ...like the relay. Disconnect...and apply voltage...see if the bulb lights. And so on. Once you know the basic wires connect corectly, and hte switch operates...then worry about the relay.
BUT....if none of them are working, and the earths are good, Most likely it's the relay or the switch.
Golfcarmad:
Just to confirm-indicators and console light all work-just no flashing.
Relay is genuine item and working before being posted to me a few days ago.
However will try all suggestions offered.
Many thanks

It's unlikely to be an earth fault if the bulbs light up. The relay relies on 44.2W of bulbs, (which takes 3.8amps) to discharge the internal capacitor so you get the correct flash rate. That's 2 x 21W plus the little one. If you go sticking 10W bulbs in or LEDs, it isn't going to flash.

Maybe it was damaged in the post?
They are mechanical after all.

Frequently need engine running for flashers to work
