Default AU2 XR6 Indicator problem

Posting this for my Brother who has no access here.........


Just lately, the indicators have been sticking on. Just comes on but wont flash.
Hazards work normally with lights on or off.
Indicators usually stick when head-lights are on but work (flash) OK most times when lights are off.
Thought it might be the flasher can but that can't be right cos hazards still work fine, and with no lights on (daylight) indicators work OK 95% of the time.
Funny thing is, indicators do work properly sometimes with lights on. Couple times at night, indicators have stuck on but after a couple of seconds will flash really slowly then stick again.

Hi Gas0lane, sticky relays can work in weird & wonderful ways! If you guys haven't tried yet, I would remove it & give it a little tap or two to loosen up its internals or buy a new one. Go the cheap fix first!

Actually i remember successfully replacing a flasher relay in a mates AU a little while ago cause the original relay was exhibiting the same symptoms. Hope the same goes for your bro's AU & its only the blinker relay.

cheers, Maka
