hey guys i have a problem with my indicators. firstly during winter my left indicator had a what we thought was a ground issue as the rear indicator was not working but the front one was at normal speed but dull. it stopped over the summer however the last rain we had here in perth was on friday and it started again then all over a sudden my indicators stopped working all together both right and left not even a flash on the dash. what could this be

Blinker cans would be a common problem on the old Qs wouldn't they Rodney ?

Yes, but if the hazards still work then it can't be the problem.

You possible have a short in the wiring going to the LHR tail light or trailer plug.

I think this short has blown you flasher relay.

I would check the trailer plug and its wiring for damage or loose wires at the back of the trailer plug first.
