Fast blinker flash

[TOURER777 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close TOURER777]

Just today the right hand blinkers started flashing really quickly. They are all working, just extra fast.

They work fine, flashing at the normal speed, when using the hazard lights. It's a few months old, only done 4000km.

Any ideas?

Normally its a sign a globe is out. Stupid question but when you checked them, you also checked the ones on the door mirrors?

Yes, first thing i checked and all are working including the one on the mirror.

In older (pre ecu) cars fast blinkers usually mean a pood relay or pood bulb. If all bulbs are working, maybe need to look at the relay(s). Ive never really worked on modern cars, so someone else should be able to confirm. The relay should time your lights off memory.

Usually happens when a bulb is swapped for LEDs.

Havn't swapped in any LEDs, I'll check relays tomorrow, cheers

I feel mine blinked a little faster after the ARB bull bar was fitted... Extra indicator LED's??? Phil

Found the problem. The after market blinkers/park lights fitted with the Smartbar had a dodgy earth connection.
The earth wire comes in from the back, bends around and simply jams in between the plastic shroud and the metal of the bulb socket.
Gave the socket a bit of a twist and connection came good. It seems pretty tight, but will be keeping an eye on it.

Had the same thing happen with my 2010 150 series VX. Turned out to be bullbar right hand side flasher. The green earth cable was not contacting properly.
