I don't know how it happened but about 3 days ago I put my left hand indicator on (to turn left obviously) and it was clicking and flashing at about 2-3 the normal speed! :nuts: It looks really stupid and is annoying to hear it going crazy in the car. The right indicator is clicking along at normal speed though. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?

Check all your left indicators that they are working because it usually means there is a globe blown somewhere.

+1 yeah it means one of your left indicator bulbs is blown.

The flasher relays look for a certain amount of resistance when you turn your indicators on.

If one (or more) of your indicators are out, there is less resistance, and therefore the rest flash quicker.

Check all your globes. :)
