Could be a fuse; hazards run on a different circuit

I have the exact same issue. Hazards work fine, but not the indicators. Brake lights are also gone. I was thinking that the indicator stalk might be dodgy, but the horn works on it.

thats your fuse, the two of them are on the same fuse circuit.. check to see if its gone or could be the connections.

as above you'll know if its a fuse if your brake lights dont work as they are on the same circuit.
if the fuse isnt gone check the connections on the fuse box. if everything seems fine there get back in the car..
stick your head under the right side of the steering wheel and there should be a little box (indicator flasher unit) that would be your culprit.. ya can get them in most motor factors for a few quid...

aAll of the above work and decide not to work in mine when they feel like it, tore out the dash to find some wires getting hot, think its a grounding issue, I'm sick of toying with a multi meter upside down, backwards and inside out :evil: . Anyone got a number for a good auto electrician in munster ?

faulty connections at the fusebox??
i ditched the original fusebox and got a 6 fuse one that uses the more modern spade fuses, problems solved :lol:

Not sure what spi stands for :? Its a 1992 Mini Cooper if that helps??
Radio works fine, what fuses do I replace and where can I find them?
