Bloody electrics.........

Replaced my front indicators today. Before I started everything was working fine.

Fitted them fine, but when I went to test them, the right turn flash rate was different to the left turn flash rate.

Checked all the electrical cables. Twice. Changed the bulbs. Twice on both sides.

Still couldn't get them to flash at the same rate. Hazards and left turn work fine, right turn flashes a bit faster (but not as fast as when a bulb is blown).

Scratched head for half an hour. Decided to replace the rear indicator bulb on the right side (even though it was working normally).

Problem fixed. All indicators flash at the same rate!

????

Mike

Bulb must have been a different wattage than the others. Was acting the same way as when you have a blown bulb on most systems . Flashes faster which tells the driver to check for a burt bulb.
