I have a Vauxhall Vectra 1.6 Envoy and a few months the airbag light
appeared for no reason. Recently the Indicator light has appeared.
Sometimes the right indicator does not flash. Both of indicators are
temperamental. The ticking is also temperamental - sometimes it click
ok, other times too, slow others times too fast and other times it
doesn't click at all. Has anyone got any ideas?
 
i suspect the two are related.
the airbag monitoring system are renowed for coming on with an electrical
'spike'
id ignore that as such.

bulbs losing contact will cause the flasher unit to operate faster

but my thoughts lie with it being the stalk that is playing up as it seems
power/switching related
else its the power feed itself fuse maybe loose?

give the stalk a squirt of switch cleaner on its contax [not wd40 if it can
be avoided, you need a switch cleaner like servisol or why]

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm afraid I had no luck in fixing
this problem? Do you have any other ideas?

There fine, both sides flash (front and back) but the daskboard light
stays on all the time.
