   If you indicators and hazards are working OK then it is just a problem with the internal relay of the central locking module which triggers the lights.

   well thinking about it i do have problems with the indicators, like when i indicate it'll tick really fast until i stop and do it again?
   
   but if not how do i fix the internal relay?

   Right, then first check the light bulbs, and make sure they are all good.
   
   To be honest it is hard to say exactly what system your car uses, sometimes the module just uses the standard hazard/indicator relay to trigger the lights which I think is more likely in your case, so it may just be light bulbs or the hazard relay itself. has your car got a BSI? if it does then it is more complex.
