Can you still flash the lights? (assuming it's on the same stalk).

Likely to be the relay - my E36 did the same thing after I changed to clear lights. It's located in the same place as the fuses and is small black boc with a number of pins on it (very scientific I know !).

If you explain the problem to a BM parts department they should be able to tell what you need.

Mine cost about £30 from a dealer.

Thanks for the tip. However, I think the hazards are on the same relay and they work....
I reckon it must be the indicator stalk.

Well, I bought a new indicator stalk, took the steering wheel off, fitted it all.
Indicators still didnt work

1 mobile auto electrician, and £25 lighter I find out that the glovebox light spade connector has come off and shorted on the metal bracket.

Bugger.

I thought you might like to have a laugh at my expense!!

At least the auto electrician didn't see me off!!
