Indicator when turning Right
« on: 22 April 2005, 20:00 »
My indicator has started going at twice the speed when turning right only. It is really trivial, but it is seriously annoying me. Is it just a relay or a fuse that needs replacing?????

Any help appreciated before I rip the indicator stalk off in a temper! :angry: :shocked:

Fantastic, i never thought of that!

Although, i've had to replace a few bulbs lately! maybe the wattage on the new bulbs is the problem!??

If it's not the bulb then it could also be a loose wire somewhere as I had the same happen to me (ok, it's a mk1 cab but its the same principal) the other week. If it's the bulb then you know the problem, but if the bulb is ok you'll need to do a circuit test to trace where the problem is.

If you have lots of bulbs blowing all the time then check your voltage regulator is working properly.
