indicator bulb blown.

[Merv121]

i have looked in the search forum, but could not find it there,

but i was on way home from work tonight and went to indicate right, and on the dash the green flashy bit was flashing like it was on steroids, only for me to find out the right indicator(front) has stopped flashing all together, what are the possible causes/ fixes for this, and how easy are each of these :/?

Thanks in advance

Take the bulb out, check it and replace if blown. If not, give the contacts on it and in the housing a clean, squirt of WD-40 and refit.

Should do it.

by the contacts which bit do ya mean? sorry for bein so stupid , just slightly concerned as i cant get to any mechanics for at least 5 days :(

It's the metal bits. Indicators can get wet and the metal will corrode. On the bulb, just wipe the metal off and inside the Indy housing, look at the copper coloured metal and clean off with a scrap of sandpaper.
