Over the last week, my indicators flash quickly every so often, but only when turning right.
I have checked the bulbs - they seem ok, but because it is intermittent I have not been able to check the cluster while its happening!
Could it be a bad connection or would a relay be on its way out (do both side share the same relay?)
Any ideas?
Cheers
Daven

hiya daven .... most likely a duff bulb or bad connection at one bulb mate .. one out.. others flash faster ... give it a couple of days and it may become clear which one .. front o/s I would think ... STN ..

This problem usually indicates (excuse the pun) a bad earth or a bulb out. It could be, say... a repeater out, making the front and back flash faster. Being intermittent, the bulb not quite touching its contacts 100% maybe? I would say a dodgy earth contact though.
They do share the same relay. Its behind the steering column.
