Ford Falcon: Indicator failure

The indicators on my 2004 Ford Falcon stopped working suddenly. I thought when that happened it just makes the same clicking sound, but really quickly. Mine doesn't do anything. A mechanic I took it to said that it's got a problem with the instrument cluster, so needs a new one. Could it possibly fix itself if I replace it? Or has it got nothing to do with the instrument cluster?

When a globe in one of the indicators goes out the other indicator on the same side as the one that has failed will flash quickly. At the same time the indicators in the instrument cluster will flash quickly and the audible indicator will click quickly. Turn each of the indicators on and check that they are working. If they aren't it suggests a deeper problem, which could be a fault with the cluster. One thing for sure it won't fix itself. If you want to get a second opinion take it to an auto electrician.
