Light out warning and blinkers speed increased. But no lights out.

Hi all.

Odd one for everyone. I got a warning light on the dash last week as I was driving. Went to turn right and the indicator speed increased. Thought to myself as I was driving that it saved me having to find which bulb it was as I now knew it was one of the right indicator bulbs. Nope.

Tried hazards and isolating using just indicator stalk but all three lights are working. They are flashing fast though.

The only light that's out one of the rear reg lights but that's hardly the issue?
Any ideas anyone.. Its confusing me...

There are two bulbs in the front indicator unit. Check both are working.

Are you running LED,s?
If so the resistors go bad and cause problems.

I have LEDs low beams but my ambers are all still halogen. Thanks for the advice though!

Hopefully you'll make light work of it.

Rubbish, only works 50% of the time.
