Took the 996 for an MOT this morning and it failed! Arrrggghhh
The thing that baffled me was it failed due to no working indicators or hazards, I haven't checked anything yet but as far as I was aware they are both on different circuits?
I would have sworn they were working on the way to the MOT station, I'm sure I would have noticed if they weren't but saying that I can't be 100% sure and I only did three turns in the 2 miles to the station so I may not have noticed? They were definitely working recently though.
I'm going to go through it this afternoon but unless 2 or more fuses have blown or maybe a relay has failed I can't see why they both wouldn't work? I had a thought in my head that both circuits may go through the hazard switch, is that correct, maybe the switch has failed?
When I lock/unlock the car all the indicators all light up so I know it isn't anything to do with bulbs?
It also failed on emissions, I hadn't ran the car for a couple of weeks and I sat in traffic all the way there so I'm hoping a run (Italian tune up) may cure that?
