2001 Corsa indicators
The indicators are behaving strangely on my daughter's 2001 Corsa.
When she indicates left, all 3 indicators (front, rear and side) function at normal speed. When she indicates right, all 3 indicators function but at high speed.
As all bulbs are working, I am assuming that the problem is with the little indicator control box which I can hear clicking away above the foot well. However, I just can't see or feel where it is!
Bearing in mind that this is a left-hand drive car (which may or may not make a difference to the location of the indicator control unit), can someone advise me where it is?
I just want to get it out, jiggle with the connections and, if that doesn't work, fit a new one. I took the car to a local dealer but they said the car would have to go in and naturally, I want to avoid unnecessary expense for something which might be very simple to put right.

Typical! the indicators started working normally (albeit intermittently) yesterday and when they looked at them in the garage, they were working correctly.
So, they took out all the bulbs and cleaned up all the contacts (no charge, thankfully).
We'll just have to wait and see if that has done the trick.
Thanks for your help anyway, Big Bri.

SteveD,
I had this problem with my 04 Corsa. Indicating right was fine but the left they'd flicker whenever they wanted, sometimes they didn't come on at all and when the hazards were on it was like a disco.
I had a family friend come round to look, he checked the fuses and bulbs and said it needed a diagnostic test. Took it to Vauxhall garage as it was still under warranty at the time and they replaced the indicator control unit.
Hope it's sorted out for you.
