Hi all.

A new little problem reared it's head last night! Then it went away and came back this morning.

When i turn my indicator on, the green light stays on solidly. Also the park brake telltale comes on.

Is this the flasher relay, or a bad earth do you think?

Thanks :)

With the bullet type fuses its a good idea to rotate the fuses a couple of times a year.

I cleaned all my fuses and fuse contacts with fine sandpaper when I bought my car - fixed loads of things!
