andyf_1 Member 13 Member For: 16y 26d Gender: Male Location: Geelong Posted 08/09/08 05:08 AM Share Posted 08/09/08 05:08 AM HiI have a 2004 F6 and recently the indicators stopped clicking. All the globes work fine...just no clicking. Except in the mornings when its really cold they work for a block or two then stop. Also the Audible beeper has stopped beeping for everything except once and that was an ice cold morning. ive been to a couple of auto electicians but they arent up to date with the modern stuff and suggested I take it to ford..grrrrr dont want to unless I have to.. guy said hed have a look but I got a feeling hell rip me off eg new cluster new this etcetc. Any ideas what it may be?

I had the left indicator not working so was doing the whole clicking faster thing.. so yesterday I got inside the guards (the genius who decided you shouldn't be able to reach the globes via the bonnet and go via the inside of the guard is a tool and needs to be slapped!!!) anyways... pulled the bulbs out and they were fine!! not blown! put them back in and now it works!! wtf.. they were both connected fine so who the I <3 Bananas knows.. just a bit of insight how things don't work but now they do...... hope you sort it out mate.mark.

I.e. if you're indicating and a fuel alert goes off it overrides the indicator noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
