[T3] Indicator Problems - Help

["Steven Cooper" <steven.cooper@optusnet.com.au>]

My indicators started playing up today.  The "lane change" feature works ie
when you only push the stalk half way, but when you push all the they didn't
work at all.

The checks I've done so far - pulled the indicator switch out of the
steering wheel and given it a good clean, no broken wires or other obvious
problems.  No blown fuses.  Checked flasher unit, even swapped for another,
no change.  Checked headlight and hazard light switches, again seem ok, no
obvious problems.  Used a bit of wire to bridge the contacts in the plug at
the base of the steering wheel, same result.

>From what I can tell there are four outputs from the indicator switch, left
half, left full, right half and right full.  After putting it all back
together they all work except right full, which means I have to hang on to
the indicator stalk to turn right.

I'm out of ideas as to what to check next.  Any suggestions?
