For some reason only known to the Italians my right rear indicator has just pack up!
There is not current at the connector under the seat, and then the wire joins 50 others and heads towards the engine. Looking at a wiring diagram it seams quite simple, has anybody had any experience of this?

My indicators packe up last week but I traced the fault to the flasher unit, fitted new one £9.95 hey presto all working fine.

It's the green and white wire for the right hand side, do you have the front right one working ? if so you need to trace the front wire and find where it joins with the rear one.

+ you say you have no power at the rear did you check this with a volt meter ? If so were you using the earth in the same light as it could be the earth thats not working.

I might not be any help at all but at least I replied to your post.

Hmm,sounds like you have a 'green' connection somewhere.I would follow the wiring and check all the connectors on the way.
No power at the indicator connectors rules out the usual culprits,blown lamp or corroded lampholder.

Now they've all gone!

Flasher unit?

[GsxrAge]

if none of them work check fuses and then flasher unit.

Now fixed!

It turned out to be the main twist connector, just opened up cleaned and lubricated. All working well!
