Hello all, I was driving along earlier, when my indicator stopped working, but only when I turned on the right one, the left indicator was fine. Then I stopped up for some fuel, got back in the car and the wipers also stopped working, the lights seem fine, I checked the fuse box and that seems fine too.

Any suggestions?

Almost certainly a poor earth somewhere. Start by checking the negative cable on the battery, then check the main engine earth strap.

As its wipers and indicators, it could also be a dodgy connector in the loom that runs up the steering column to the stalks.
