hi folks,

wonder if anyone can help with this one. Indicators all work (no blown bulbs, standard 21W bulbs, all wiring is good) battery fully charged. When either L or R indicators are switched on, the first two or three flashes are at the correct speed, and then the flash speed increases rapidly until they are almost on continually. Both F and R, either side, any engine speed.

Bad earth somewhere?

Flasher relay?

Or something else?

It really only become a problem since I got all the indicators working for MoT a month ago and subsequently got into the habit of using them regularly

Cheers,

Nigel

I'd maybe try a new flasher unit first of if all the bulbs are defo working

Hmmm....now they seem to be behavin' themselves...at least at tickover'ish speeds, flash frequency still increases with (it would appear) engine speed though. Bizzare.

the first two or three flashes are at the correct speed,

That'll do then, its more than many a car will give

i'm in the new flasher relay camp too, just make sure youve got the correct voltage and wattage bulbs in though!
