Indicator fualt.

[Samantha Welch]

Hello everyone just wondering if anyone can help me.. im from the uk i have a mercedes A-class 2002, my first car. Im a new driver, only had it for 3 weeks. Anyway, when i indacate to go left sometimes my right indacate goes on 80% of the time. If i put my bull beam lights on then my left light will work. Does anyone know why it would do this please?

Welcome Samantha, as LK has answered elsewhere it’s probs a faulty earth or you’ve done mice living under the bonnet !

This is a known problem on the 168 A Class. My money would be on the instrument cluster being at fault.

The problem is mentioned here http://www.aclassinfo.co.uk/mypage.71.htm

I have read somewhere that the cluster is repairable when this happens. It may be worth talking to ECU testing, they might be able to help.
