Xantia Hazards on when indicate

Post by Grant Richardson »

My K (1993) reg Xantia has a problem, when I try to indicate left or right both come on i.e. as if the hazards are on. I removed what I think is the indicator relay (above the internal fuse box) and then re-seated it.
It seams to work i.e. it makes a clicking noise and the indicators flash on and off BOTH LEFT & RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!
The hazard switch works OK.
Can anybody help ???????

Has any work been done on your car recently which might have disturbed the wiring ?. If not check all earth connections,and relays.A local friendly Garage might exchange relays for you to test.This seems like an earth problem rather than a short,in which case if it was the latter, it should be blowing fuses.Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

When i was drying out the passenger side footwells i had a look at the alarm brain, and seeing two disconected wires i assumed they should be conected, one of these wires affected the hazzards in the way you describe (put indicater to left, both come on,put to right both come on) disconected back to normal.
might be worth a look.
