Default Could it be a bad earth?????

Morning all,

I hope someone can help me here.
When you indicate to turn right, all of the bulbs flash very quickly (inside and out), including the one on the dash. When you indicate left, it flashes at the speed that these things are mean't too. If you turn on the hazzard lights, then everything works as it should.

I know it sounds a bit werid but it's hard to explain.
Has anyone got any ideas as what it could be??


Many thanks,


DAve

Is one bulb out or dimmer than the others?

Have you got any LED bulbs fitted?

It's normally a sign that one of the repeater bulbs has blown.

Check all the repeater bulbs are OK (front rear & sides) before wasting your patience on finding bad earths.

Went to check the bulb, bulb had blown in the front bumper, ordered new bulbs and then it started working again.

Only strange when you don't know about it! Practically every car will do this when an indicator bulb is blown.
