The hazard trick has never worked for my car, BUT.....
I took the fuse route this weekend. Pulled out fuse No 4, gave it a bit of a scrub with a nail file, cleaned it off and put it back. Bob's your uncle and the indicators now work and have done for the past 24 hours !
Unfortunately the problem has moved to the break lights. Now my bulb out warning light comes on when I press the breaks for the first time after starting the engine, and my driver side break light doesn't work. I've checked and replaced the bulb (just to be sure) and the damn thing refuses to work.
I swear if my car didn't have that bulb out warning light then it would probably be fine !!!
