Got up this morning and jumped in car to notice my indicators are flashing alot faster then usual when im in the car. So i get out to check if they are working and to my surprise, not even one of em is. Hazards don't work either. Anyone know what it could be. Told it could be relay. If so could someone tell me how to locate it as i don't have a clue. Thanks

I had this a few weeks ago and it most probably is the relay, although check the fuse too. Owner's manual will tell you which fuse, and the fusebox is easy to find.

The relay is in another box, the relay itsself is a yellow rectangle so easy to suss out which relay is for the indicators. I'll get a photo for you.

Here's the relay:

It's in the box attached to the 'hose' type thing and to the right of the battery.

Iv checked in the fuse box, theres no fuse for the indicators. Checked in the book aswell and on the sticky, and it doesnt say the number for the fuse of the indicators. Also, is the relay the only yellow plug in the other box, cos in the main fuse box theres 3-4 yellow plugs. Thanks mate

The relay is the one shown in the photo. Easy to spot. It's also not in the fusebox.

What year is that car in the picture. Mine is an 02 plate. Iv found the box and its got screws on it but they are impossible to take off as the box is right in the corner and not easily accessible like the one in the picture.

All have the same layout I think, regardless of the year. That one in the photo looks like it's got the water 'drain' plastic cover taken off.

I took that picture a few weeks back when I had problems with my indicator(one side worked,the other side would not), its a 54 plate corsa and it was a pain to get that cover off, had to move the battery a inch to the left to get the cover off,
you could do it without taking the cover off as the relay is just at the front, but you will need to take out some of the screws first then lift the cover to get at the relay
