Indicators flash more quickly on one side.

Post by sixinoz »

Just noticed this today - indicators on left flash slower than those on the right. Since they both use the same unit is this a resistance problem with the left side wiring?

I'd say it's a grounding problem, or miss-matched wattage bulbs.

Are both flashing on the 'fast' side? Typical of a burned out bulb. (On the 'fast' side.)

Battery fully charged and no blown bulbs so will check all connections for corrosion etc.
