Indicator works for a few minutes then stops i think it might be the relay switch its a volkwagon golf 1.4 if it is where do i put it in

Have you tested the turn signal switch is voltage leaving the turn signal switch? I would think it is the switch that is the problem assuming all the fuses related to the lights are ok and not blown out.

My guess would be the combination switch (indicator switch)

I think the hazards and the indicators function on different relays. If the indicator switch is working ok then the relay is probably not working.

Replace the flasher module this should resolve the turn and hazard light issue. If the stop lamps not working after replacing flasher check brake light switch

The indicator relay is built into the hazard switch. Remove it carefully by prising a small flat bladed screwdriver at each side of the switch

this is a commom flaw on these golfs had same problem a good few years back. Normally the problem is the wiper relay. you just need to replace this.

ignition switch on its way out, as a golf owner im sure awre theyre common, also possible ignition relay, though i reckon ignition switch it has two outputs and they fail intermittanly, eventualy they will stop all tgether,new swith bout £20 though fitting means removal of steering wheel and a puller is required to remove the housing.
Good luck Davelee

this is going to sound nuts but its true.if your brakelight switch is defective that light will flash.
see if you brake lights are working.if it is automatic trans you will notice the shifter will not always release when you depress brake pedal.
if its not brakelight switch get it autoscaned with a VAG.com

take a look

Hi,

Most Golf and Jetta have their relays bunched together with the fuse block. Often, it would be inside the fuse box/compartment located under the facia panel, on the right-hand side, behind a removable cover. On most models, the flasher relay would be labeled 21.

Incidentally, sometime ago, there was a recall on some Golf where Volkswagen dealers will install a new hazard flasher switch/relay kit to remedy a common issue. You may want to try first Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
