One last try
Many things we do while driving we do automatically. When you stop to think about it, you get confused. (this is why drunk drivers get pulled over and breathalyzed - they are trying to impose their conscious inebriated will on a task which is normally done automatically, and it shows).
The "3 flash" option on my cars works by flicking the indicator switch up against the détente and releasing immediately. If you hold it against the détente, it will flash as long as you hold it, but stop immediately you release it.
If you flick and release immediately it should flash 3 times, but if you hold it there a moment too long it will disable the facility - even after one flash.
Give it one last try at that. It may be that the dealer does not use the facility, or that he too does it automatically. I think it has to be something simple at the root of your problem. It would be nice if we could solve it.
My Dealer ( Stoke 0n Trent ) said he had replaced the switch last September but I saw no difference.
Should I believe him?
I'm grateful for the experiences given in this thread because I've been made to feel that I'm the only one with this problem and that I'm wasting their time.
