Indicators flashing fast

Postby finn_mccool » Sat Jun 23, 2018 10:21 pm

Just doing the final pre-MOT bits, and noticed the indicators are flashing fast (like they would if a bulb had gone). This happens for both directions.

All the bulbs are present, functional and flashing, just fast.

When I use the hazards, they flash at the correct speed.

I've had the indicator stalk out (as suggested from other posts), cleaned all the contacts out and given it a general clean, but to no effect.

What next? Do I need to bite the bullet and try a new relay?

New relay solved the problem. Hooray!

Incidentally, it wasn't a Ford one. It was for a Land Rover, but rated for same wattage and same pin layout. And only £6.
