Normally means a bulb has blown, or it did on older cars!!!!

It's the Lighting Control Module (LCM) that controls the indicators. It's actually part of the light switch assembly - However who told you it was faulty? I've had a couple of cars where this has been diagnosed as the fault, and it turned out to be something much simpler and cheaper..Microlightstore wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 9:59 pm can anyone help , i dont know how to find the body control unit , i have been told this is the fault that

the indicator light has 2 bulbs - mine started flashing faster because one of the bulbs had blown.
It was a right PITA to fit for the first time.

Who told you it was the "body control unit" because on these cars that's not what controls the lights. Without a proper diagnosis, you are on an expensive route...

The LCM also stores vehicle mileage so if you replace it you get a tamper dot on the dash
