A belated update in case it helps someone else... It wasn't the hazard switch/circuit. I tried wiring an alternative hazard switch and even with that off, the indicators would be un-cancellable once used. I put it down to a bad earth in the relay circuit. I sourced a replacement from Autodoc...

Update: given the indicator was flashing with ignition off, I started with the hazard switch... Removed and unplugged the display housing the hazard button and reconnected the battery... No more flashing. Indicators fine with ignition on. So hazard button/micro switches look like the culprit.

In case it's useful, these are the connections for one of these B883 12V/2(4)X21W relay units. Mine (UK RHD 2005 Coupé) was indeed above the steering column and just reachable from under the dashboard. Connectors a little corroded so I opened it up, cleaned it, resoldered a diode which looked...

Quick update; my manual shows two 30A relays for devices "cut out"/"not cut out during ignition". They're the red ones. Removed them, put them back and swapped them over... No change. The left indicator still goes even when both relays are removed when the battery is turned back on. With the...

I switched the battery back on briefly this afternoon after being off all night and the left indicators immediately started flashing... so turned it off again and I will dig deeper on a drier day. The right indicators were also glowing faintly in sync. It's definitely a case of bring something...

When the stalk is in the turn right position, the right indicator alone flashes, so I believe (I could be wrong...) that it's not the switch position or collar that's a problem because if you leave it in that position and turn the ignition off, the left indicators flash

I knew I shouldn't have thought to myself that the car was driving like a dream... Monday: a 140 mile round trip and my facelift Coupé didn't miss a beat. Tuesday: a 2 mile round trip to a garden centre and now the left indicators will only stop when indicating right (with ignition on) or with...

Hi folks, season's greetings to all. A cautionary tale for 4200 Coupe owners - watch out for your insurer stealing your tin roof. Direct Line have "upgraded" their computer system & I noticed on the paperwork which arrived just before the auto-renewal that they'd changed the description of my...

Hi, check the car registers the driver's seat belt is buckled. Discovered mine won't budge without the belt done up when I was rearranging the driveway last week!
