My right hadn indicator will not cancel - the left side works fine but the whole of the right side just stays on constantly without flashing/clicking.

Any ideas? I need to MOT is soon and this is such an obvious failure!

Another indicator Q - MOT looming.

Are both the bulbs working and the proper 21w ones? If so then it sounds like a bad earth somewhere causing a high resistance. Prime suspect for this on an HC is the rear bulb holders, they are supposed to earth through the lamp body but they often dont. Clean up all the connections at the back, the rim of the bulb holder and the hole in the lamp where it sits with emery and you should be ok. Matt.
