Indicator stalk light

Hello
The wee green lamp has stopped flashing but the problem is not the bulb. Is there a switch which works the stalk lamp?
How easy/difficult is it to access the switch? Is it repairable or would I need a new switch?
I'm a little in the dark!

There isn't a 'switch' which works the stalk light. Have you checked to see if your front & rear indicators are all working OK? A bulb might have blown.

Probably the flasher unit, it's quite a common failure mode.

If you have a blocked oil filter light, the orange light on the left side of the speedo, disconnect the cable from the oil filter and touch it to a live power source to check the bulb. Then connect it to the P terminal of the flasher. If the orange light flashes when you operate the flashers its the stalk bulb that is faulty, if it doesn't flash then the flasher unit is faulty
