Indicator flashing too fast?

[mk2mark]

Have a problem with my indicators, when I indicate right it flashes faster as if one of the bulbs was gone - but neither are What's the craic? Electronics aren't my forte...

take the relay out see if it is damp - I had some strange indicator goings on when I had a leak over my fusebox!

I blew it out with an DRY air line and that cured it!

check the earthing for the rear lights there might be a loose connection or something. thats what happened to mine.

Could be the flasher unit itself?

Ok guys, I'm pretty sure it's not the relay, how would I check the grounds on the rear lights if they're all working? Would the flasher unit not be working for the right hand side only??

You say neither bulb was gone... did you check the third bulb?

[mk2mark]

Yeah I couldn't find it! There's only 2 unless I'm seriously mistaken, which would be severely embarrassing

Front, back and side unless you have a blanking plate in place of the side one.

Does it flash faster when you press the brake pedal?

Ive got this in the mk3. Cant understand it

[JMallows]

Yeah, the third bulb is on the wing. Unless its missing... then it would flash faster too!

Blue, sounds like a bad earth in the boot, all the rear lights share the same earth at the back, could be worth a look?
