Replacing the Indicator Relay on the Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

If you notice that one of the indicators on your Opel Astra is not working, and after checking that the bulbs are functioning, you need to verify the operation of the relay that controls them. To do this, open the small glove compartment under the steering wheel on the left, and by applying pressure to the inner sides, detach it from its housing. Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the screws on the frame by ninety degrees and remove it as well, allowing access to the plate where the fuses and some relays are located. The relays for the indicators are at the top right, coloured yellow; check their efficiency and replace it with a new one if necessary.
