Surf indicators? As in wave height and period, as in Surf's Up - Kawabunga!

Phil, I assume you mean your turn signals are not working correctly. If so, could you describe your problem?

If it is a turn signal problem, the most common culprit is a bulb.

The left and right indicator do not seem to operate, when the indicator stalk is turned to the left or right there is a relay under the dash which clicks on an off, but there is no power to either lights, is there another relay driving the power on and off ? all the lights work perfectly as the alarm operates these with no problem.

okay I think I have tracked this down to a bad earth on th right hand indicators, I 'm struggling to find any faults, any help or ideas would be welcome ?

Phil, all I can do is offer you encouragement. More than likely the problem is something very simple. I mentioned bulbs earlier. Every time I have had problems with my signals (indicators), it was a bulb. My truck signals were giving me problems a while back-it turned out to be just a bad bulb, even though the bulb was not burned out. I don't know why. As foolish as it sounds, you may want to try that. As already said, I'm betting its something simple.

Yup, try the simple things first. I was working on a truck at work where the fuse would blow when you turned on the left turn signal. it would flash a few times, and then blow. replaced the bulb and all was good.
