Left blinker blinking fast

[Jaycee]

Hi guys,

Yesterday my left hand side blinker in my 2007 GU started blinking a lot faster than usual. The right side works normally, and both flash normally with the hazards on.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks,
Jaycee

check for a blown globe and also check for a loose wire in the trailer plug if you have one

Thanks Pearcey, will do. I had a rear bar installed last week, so i'm thinking they may have accidentally pulled a wire or something. Could just be a coincidence though.

Does the rear bar have LED lights fitted?

If so and there are no blown bulbs for the LHS indicators you will either need to fit a load resistor to the indicators or replace the flash relay with an LED compatible one.

Or maybe an earthing problem?

It could also be the relay on it's way out. Relays are known to flash faster than normal when they are about to give up and die.

You did check if none of the left hand blinkers failed? Quick blinking would normally indicate a bulb lost in the chain.

Sounds like a globe or flasher relay is gone mate.

Wouldn't that make left and right flash at the same rate as the bar would have the same indicators left and right
