Indicators that don't!
 

Hi,Can anyone tell me where the flasher unit is on a 1986 Coupe Quattro? My indicators stopped flashing about a week ago but I can't find the flasher unit.Is it behind the dash as there is a ticking noise from there if you turn the hazards on and off. Thanks for your help in advance, Nick:wall:

Now I could be wrong, but on my ur its behind the dash.
unscrew the 4 screws which hold the frame onto the "pod" and then pull frame forward.
it may be easier to pull off one set of connectors from switches on one side of the frame so you can swing it out of the way.
pod should lift away then and flasher unit (silver cube about 25mm square) is attached to a lug at back of display.
i always take the steering wheel of as well to improve access.

The relay is on passingers side in the birds nest wiring under the glovebox!!!!!!!

now I'm prepared to say "I dont really have a clue", but while there may be a relay under the glove box, I'm pretty sure the thing i've had to take off when i was messing with the dash was the flasher unit- ie the thing that makes the clicking noise.
there again very worth while checking relays behind glove box out.

ps Amanda, do you see jay much? just that ian may have a parcel for me and hes seeing him soon.

Hmmm and I am no mechanic either ;) Which Ian do you mean?

I'm seeing Jay this weekend before dragging my arse to Nottingham on Sunday so if you need anything delivering now is the time to shout up

Flasher unit is behind the dash (rev counter / speedo ) clipped to the back of the instrument cluster as stuartmmcfc said

that would have been handy, but Simmos not going to puglifes (jay) until Tuesday/Wednesday:(
not the end of the world though :)

Do your hazard flashers work ok? The hazard switch only recreationtes what the indicator stalk switch does but both sides at once. If the indicators all flash and the relay is clicking it's not the relay, it's the stalk.

I'll be doing the same run the following weekend to could still do a pick and drop for you no probs :tup:

Just let me know
