Introduction

Do the indicators or hazard lights on your Twingo no longer come on, or come on irregularly, or suddenly cut out?

This probably comes from the Flasher Unit!

This small box manages the lighting of the Twingo's visual warnings. In the event of a problem, it usually comes from it.

Fortunately, it is cheap and easy to locate and change! And what's more, there are some on Oscaro! Everything is explained clearly in this tutorial!

The location may vary slightly depending on the version, but don't panic, it is easily recognizable!

  1. 
To begin, locate the vehicle's fuse box. It is located under the steering wheel, or nearby.

As before any electrical work, remember to disconnect the battery!

Note the references and position of the metal pins in order to order a compatible control unit.

Power stations built today are often shorter. This is not a problem as long as the position of the plugs is the same.
