Have you checked the plug on the van and the fuses for the road lights inside the van

hi damian.
no, havn't done either, thanks for that.
its literally only the indicator that dosn't work tho, that wouldn't just have a fuse for itself would it?

Hi Garry, i had the same problem a while ago, it 'turned' (sorry) out to be the audible indicator (buzzer) which was located in the boot, apparently it was'nt letting enough power through to opperate the indicator although the other side worked fine. a new one from local car spares shop was about £4.00. replaced and sorted......hope this helps..

Yes it would, usually there is a multi fuse block under the front seat or bed box with a fuse protecting each light system, left indicators, right indicators, front and rear marker lights etc

I had the same problem on my new van, the fault was the silly ring of black plastic with the electrical connections that retained the bulb in position.
I replaced this ring and cable tied it in position to prevent it from coming out, I did both sides and had no problems since.
